INGREDIENTS
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 onions
- 2 tbsp. of harissa
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 6 carrots
- 3 red peppers
- Vegetable stock
- 1 tin of chickpeas
Green herb dip
- 2 big handfuls of coriander

Za'atar focaccia
- 500 gr. of flour
- 1 sachet of instant yeast
- 300 ml. of lukewarm water
- 1 tsp. of salt
- Olive oil
- Za’atar
PREPARATION
- First start with the focaccia. Mix the first 4 ingredients together and knead until you have a soft springy dough (about 5-10 minutes). Oil a large bowl, add the dough and cover with a tea towel. Leave to rise for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Knock the dough back and push it down with your finger tips on a baking tray. Drizzle over some olive oil, sea salt and za’atar and cover again with a tea towel to let it rise for another 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 220C and bake the focaccia for 25-30 minutes.
- Now, let’s make the soup, sauté the chopped onion and garlic till soft, add the harissa and the roughly chopped vegetables and add after a couple of minutes the vegetable stock. Cook until the vegetables are soft and purée the soup in a blender until smooth, season with salt and pepper.
- Wash and dry the chickpeas and bake in the oven on 200C with olive oil, salt and pepper until crispy and serve the soup with mint (and rose petals).
- Pulse all the ingredients in a food processor or hand blender until combined to prepare the green herb dip, taste and season wilt salt.
