Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup
On a grey and wet day, this fragrant, brothy and hearty Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup is a warming hug in a plate, a comforting dish which elevates leftovers into a properly delicious meal! Happy Thursday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 heaped teaspoons Capon Fat
1 teaspoon Graines à Roussir
300 grams/10.5 ounces leftover Roast Lamb
a small bunch fresh Cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
1 1/4 litre/5 cups water
1 cup frozen broad beans
1 tablespoon demerara sugar
Melt Capon Fat in a large pot over medium-high heat.
In a mortar, quickly crush Graines à Roussir with the pestle, and add them to the hot, melted Capon Fat. Fry, a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut leftover Roast Lamb into thin slices, and add to the pot. Cook well, to brown nicely, a few minutes.
Finely chop half of the Garden Cilantro, and stir into the Lamb, along with minced garlic. Cook, 3 minutes more.
Then, season with black pepper, and deglaze with sweet soy sauce. Stir in 1 litre of the water, and bring to a rolling boil. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, a simmer, 2 hours.
Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add broad beans, and cook, about 5 minutes. Drain broad beans, and immediately plunge in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and cool.
Once cooled, peel broad beans.
Once the broth has reduced and is very fragrant, stir in demerara sugar until dissolved.
Add broad beans, and gradually stir in remaining water. Bring to the boil.
Finely chop remaining Garden Cilantro.
Serve Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup very hot, sprinkled with chopped Cilantro,

1+1 sandwich. Well, that’s the literal translation. In a rather empty locale (Holborn) on a weekend, we came across a seemingly random assortment of Chinese restaurants.

Well, that’s the literal translation.
In a rather empty locale (Holborn) on a weekend, we came across a seemingly random assortment of Chinese restaurants. Which kind of fit the bill as the food was to be an odd assortment of Sichuan foods not typically seen in London. The low price was almost something not often seen these days.
Taiwaness style sausage. In the way that processed meat often tastes, it was smooth and fulsome. So much so that I wondered if instead of the advertised pork, this was instead something more exotic like retired racehorse. Which I guess it might be happy with, as entertaining both on the way in and on the way out.
Pickled shredded daikon. The sausage came with an unexpected extra, shredded daikon. Looked rather inoffensive, however like some small ladies I know, with hidden fire. The numbing chilli inside led for unexpected excitement both immediately and after.
Saliva chicken. The next dish was one that I have seen translated in many different amusing ways. Either saliva chicken (a reference perhaps to what it is cooked in or how you would react when it comes near you), mouth-watering chicken (a more polite way of describing it) or chilli chicken (perhaps most accurate). However, no matter what you call it, it was good. Delicately broiled chicken, crispy shallots and deep (and fiery) chilli with oil. Definitely something to drool over.
Traditional Xi’an lamb soup with glass noodles. Rich and fulsome, the clear broth which packed a kick. The glass noodles were decent (if rather sparse) but the lamb slices although thin, packed a lambsome punch. Smooth counterpoint to more bland noodles.
Fish & Sauerkraut. With spicy undercurrent. Better described perhaps as fish fillets with preserved Chinese vegetables in soup, the rather staid green colour could be misleading. This dish brought a tear to my eye as the spicy kick helped to alleviate my boredom with life. Sometimes I need a kick to get moving and this certainly helped.
Braised pork meat sandwich. Finishing with a pork sandwich as a final goodbye, it was flaky and meaty. Although compared to the rest, it wasn’t that delighting on the tongue. It just wasn’t really to my tastes which is kind of a shame given that this is what gives the restaurant its name.
Although I have to give it to them. Perhaps 1+1 is a good name. As in these numerically challenging days where it seems that a £ doesn’t go as far as it could, we could all do with a bit of a reminder to count our pennies. 1+1 doens’t equal 10, 5 or 3. Instead, sadly it seems that often when I check, it adds up to less than £2. Yet if that is the case, perhaps you want to come to 1+1 rougamo, your money might go further.
A quiet eating 8/10.
Lunch (2 course equivalent) was GBP20 per person excluding drinks and service.
