Onion Soup and Carrot, Wild Rocket & Jerusalem Artichoke Salad

No photos for these two, I'm afraid. We ate them before they could pose for photographs.

Onion Soup

Ingredients:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tbsp white wine (I used a non-alcoholic kind)
500ml vegetable stock
White pepper, to taste

Directions:
Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion. Saute over a low heat until the onions are well browned. Add the wine and vegetable stock and heat through. Add pepper to taste.


Carrot, Wild Rocket and Jerusalem Artichoke Salad

60g wild rocket
1 large carrot, grated
1 Jerusalem artichoke, thinly sliced
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tbsp olive oil

Directions:
Put all the ingredients in a serving bowl and toss together.

Watermelon and Cucumber Salad

Something lighter for a change. This is a wonderfully refreshing combination.

Ingredients:
350g watermelon, cut into large chunks
175g cucumber, cut into large chunks
10g mint leaves, torn

Dressing:
juice of 1/2 a lime
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 teaspoon agave nectar
pinch of salt

Directions:
Combine the watermelon, cucumber and mint in a serving bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix the dressing ingredients together. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss together.
