With Covid-19 shutting our eateries, we have looked to our archives for recipes to help alleviate the boredom of isolation.

3 cloves garlic

500g carrots, roughly chopped

salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups vegetable stock

⅓ cup crunchy peanut butter (salted or unsalted)

2 tsp chilli sauce (more or less to taste)

410g can coconut milk or cream

1 Tbsp olive or coconut oil

coconut yoghurt

fresh chilli, finely chopped

Method

Heat a large pot over medium heat.

Roughly chop onion and garlic and add to pot with 1 Tbsp olive or coconut oil. Saute until soft.

Add carrots and stock and simmer for 30 minutes or until the carrots are soft. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

Return to pot and add peanut butter and coconut milk and reheat.

Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

For extra sweetness, add some brown sugar and for extra heat add some Sriracha hot chilli sauce.

Top with coconut yoghurt and finely chopped fresh chilli.
