The Best Way To Roast a Capsicum / Easy Baked Tofu / Creamy Edamame Soup



Blog Post & Recipe: The Best Way To Roast a Pepper


The most common method of roasting a pepper is to place them whole in a hot oven or over coals. Undeniably, this creates perfectly cooked, juicy flesh but the post-cooking removal of the seeds makes me swear furiously. Those sticky little buggers get everywhere!

I love it when dishes are good out of the oven and straight from the fridge. The marinade bakes into the tofu so it’s not a saucy dish. Add cubes to stir-fried veggies and serve over rice, toss on a salad, as a sandwich filling, with cooked quinoa, in a rice paper wrapper or just pop them in your mouth

The texture of this is a little thick because of the edamame – think split pea soup. Feel free to thin it out with some more stock or water if it’s too thick for you. I ate this soup warm but I think it’s also a good base for a summer soup served cold or at least room temperature. My version is a simple whiz of the soybeans with a little coconut milk and S&P. Use it as a base to add some curry flavors, some heat from a chili or wasabi or some zing from a bit of ginger.
