Board Highlight: Why Deep Roots Matters to Brittany
Monday, February 05, 2024
By Brittany Peters, Deep Roots Board Member

"As a former staff member, I wanted to ensure I continued to serve the co-op. Serving as a board member has kept me ingrained in the co-op. I can ensure that the co-op continues its positive trajectory into the future. Having a food co-op in Greensboro is something we should all be proud of and take ownership of. From shopping at the store, encouraging your friends and families to do so, becoming an owner, or even serving on the board or board committees are ways we can support our beloved co-op."

Board Highlight: Why Deep Roots Matters to Spoma
Sunday, January 21, 2024
By Spoma Jovanovic, Deep Roots Board Member

"I feel so fortunate to be part of our local co-op that is beautiful, accessible, and committed to the democratic values important to me. All of us, by virtue of being owners, support local farmers, local decision-making, and local involvement in the community. Upon retirement from my position as a professor at UNCG, I was delighted to become a Board member so I could contribute more to Deep Roots’ future, as is evidenced in the collective wisdom of the Board that helps the co-op grow and thrive."

Roasted Cauliflower & Sweet Potato Curry Soup
Saturday, January 20, 2024
By NCG's Co-op Kitchen

Recipe Information

For a hearty, veggie-rich soup, try this method of roasting the vegetables before adding them to a curry-scented soup. The heat of the oven brings out the sweetness and adds a hint of char to the cauliflower, carrot and sweet potatoes.

Total Time: 45 minutes; 20 minutes active

Servings: 6

 

Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower, chopped into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 large sweet potato, ½ inch cubes
  • 1 large carrot, ½ inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 14-ounce can coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

 

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place the cauliflower, sweet potato and carrot in a large bowl, drizzle with half of the olive oil, and toss to coat. Spread on a large sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are browned and tender when pierced with a paring knife. Cool on racks.
  2. While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the onions. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and stir often for another 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne and salt and stir until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes, vegetable stock and coconut milk, stir well, and bring to a boil, then stir in the roasted vegetables. Reduce to simmer for 5 minutes, just to heat the vegetables through.
  4. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.

 

Serving Suggestion

Rice is always nice with a curry or pair this flavorful soup with some garlicky naan.
