Gone to seed

We came back from four weeks of holiday.

Apprehensive about what might have happened to the plot (although we had neighbours cropping the veggies  for a couple of weeks).

The coriander plant has gone to seed!



Well, never mind. Omelettes out of broken eggs, then!

We harvested the seeds.



Just in time to make the "Double Coriander" Carrot palya the whole family enjoys.

First, lightly roast and dry grind the coriander seeds.



4 medium sized carrots, cut lengthwise into strips and then chopped up
1 small onion, diced
2 spoons cooking oil
1 spoon of coriander power
Salt to taste
A pinch of paprika (optional, the Younger can't take it)
Half a bunch of coriander leaves

Add oil to hot skillet. Brown the diced onions. Add the coriander powder and salt. Add carrots after a minute. Add paprika, and the the coriander leaves. Cook until carrot pieces start to get charred.



And enough seeds left over to plant - think about it, growing the seed for our own coriander plants!
