Turmeric Ginger Broth
Serves 4
This is as easy and delicious as it is lovely! The color, the aroma, and the flavors are all equally enticing.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (smashed)
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger root (peeled, sliced and smashed)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric or 1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh turmeric
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 lime (quarted)
Directions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring often, until soft and golden. Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook for a few seconds, until fragrant. Stir in turmeric, bay leaf, pepper, salt, and 6 cups water. Bring to a low simmer and cook 30 minutes.
- Pour broth through a fine-meshed strainer. Serve warm, adding more salt, to taste, and a squeeze of fresh lime, if you like.
Cook Tips
Make it a meal: Add 1 small diced Yukon Gold potato to strained broth; simmer, partially covered, 10 min or until potato is tender. Finish with cooked lentils and a handful of spinach. For a rich finish, swirl in a spoonful of coconut cream (skimmed from the top of a can of coconut milk).
