Modern Redaction
The late Middle English dorry (also dorye or dorroy) derives from the French
d'or meaning 'golden' so this is a golden soup. Essentially it's bread and onions in an almond milk base; with the almond milk made with white wine.
Ingredients:
6 small white onions
2 tbsp olive oil
250ml white wine
250ml water
150g ground
almonds
250ml hot water
3 slices lightly-toasted
bread
Method:
Cut the onions into very small pieces and fry in olive oil until soft. Add the wine and 250ml of water, bring to the boil and simmer for five minutes.
Combine the ground almonds and hot water in a mortar. Grind together with a pestle to create a paste then drain this through a cloth or a fine-meshed strainer and discard the pulp.
Break the toast into chunks and place in the bottom of a bowl. Pour the almond milk over the bread and spoon the onion mixture above this. (Though not in the original recipe, a twist of black pepper at this stage brings out the flavour of the dish). Serve immediately.
