Tomato prawn soup made with sieved tomatoes: Method
- Mix all the dried spices listed in the vellutata ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add the chopped vegetables and fry for 3/4 minutes. Add the spices and stir, cooking for a further 2 minutes. Add the fresh ginger and chilli sauce and continue cooking for 3 minutes.
- Add the passata, salt and bread and cook for 4 minutes. Use a hand blender until you get a smooth, consistent soup.
- Pour in the vegetable stock and cream. Bring to the boil and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the crushed garlic and curry powder and fry for 1 minute. Remove the garlic and add the shelled prawn tails. Turn up the heat and sauté for a few minutes, simmering with the gin. Once the gin has evaporated, season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the vellutata into bowls. Add the sautéed prawns and serve with black sesame seeds.
