Soup and Salad Recipes
Bouillon, soupe chinoise, lentil soups and the cold salads served beside them.
Soup in Mauritius is light rather than heavy — a clear bouillon with brede and garlic, a soupe chinoise with noodles and boulettes, or a thick lentil soup on a cold Curepipe evening.
Salads follow the same logic: cucumber and tomato with lemon, octopus with onion and chilli, and green salads dressed simply. Both categories are quick and forgiving, which makes them good midweek cooking.

Light meals for warm evenings
Build a bouillon from a good stock and add greens at the last minute so they keep their colour. For salads, salt cucumber and let it drain for ten minutes before dressing or the plate turns watery. Lemon rather than vinegar is the Mauritian default, with a little chilli and coriander to finish.
