coriander Three days ago I bought fresh coriander to prepare a fish-meal with it. For one time, I didn't forget to water it and it's still alive and kicking.
I'm leaving on a holiday on Tuesday and want to honor the coriander one more time. The problem is that it's one of the spices I don't know that well. Any good ideas ? | |

Directions: Put 20-25 whole, dried coriander seeds in a clean glass jar with tight-fitting lid. Add 25 centiliter colourless, non-flavoured vodka - 40% alcohol content (80 proof). Let steep for 2-8 days in a dark place at room temperature, 18-20°C (64-68°F). Shake lightly and taste it from time to time. Strain and filter your infusion into a clean glass bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid. Store (age) for a month or so in a dark place at room temperature before serving. If necessary, dilute your schnapps with the same type of vodka you used as base. Leave it a couple of days to settle. Serve your coriander schnapps at room temperature - in suitable glasses. | |

Then poke toothpicks through the plastic and freeze the whole thing. Schnapps cubes! | |

I need some good-looking bull, trout, pasta, I don't care, as long as it's soft and tender and willing to get a coriander-treatment by Miss ML. | |

If this thread keeps silent, I will turn my prejudice into a fact: the American orgers are bad cooks and the European ones are just too rude to help me and my dying coriander out !!! | |

Funny that you mention this because I had dinner at my parents' house tonight and my mom had made a coriander based sauce to go with the tenderloin meat. It had yellow onion and oil in it, but that's all I could identify (it tasted great!). Unfortunately my mom's asleep now and can't tell me what else she put in it. | |

But I'll listen to my stomach tomorrow, put my head on my boy's belly and let them decide for me. That's all for now folks. It's midnight and my boy just announced we will take a bike and cruise the city. | |

Well you obviously have to make a curry, if you have coriander. The 2 go hand in hand.
Chuck it in pretty much any curry. | |
