Method

  • Make your Wholemeal Mornflake Oatbran loaf – do this the day before, or in the morning.
  • Melt your butter in a pan.
  • Peel and finely slice your onions, leaving on medium-low heat, covered, allowing them to caramelise.
  • Stir every couple of minutes to make sure they aren’t sticking to the pan. If they start to stick, add a bit more butter, or a splash of water. They should take around 30 minutes to caramelise on low heat.
  • Once your onions have nicely caramelised, deglaze with a splash of brandy, stirring well, then add 1 tbsp plain flour.
  • Stir well, then add another splash of brandy and continue to allow the onions to brown.
  • Once you have nicely caramelised onions, add your water and stock and allow the onions to come to a boil on medium heat.
  • Cover with a lid, allowing to simmer on medium-low heat until the stock has reduced down, and you have a thicker soup. This should take 20-30 minutes. Season with salt & pepper and add any herbs you’d like.
  • Once you’re happy with the consistency and ready to serve, preheat your oven to 200°C, and slice a couple of slices off your crusty loaf.
  • Drizzle them with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes on each side.
