#coriander is the seed

[irregularcollapse]

okay i've got to get this off my chest because i feel like i'm going insane

a herb is a plant with leaves that are used to flavour and/or add aroma to food, either as ingredient or garnish.

a spice is a plant substance such as a seed, bark, root or fruit that is usually dried and used to flavour and/or add aroma to food. spices are not herbs.

an aromatic is a vegetable that is used at the flavour base of a dish, also adding aroma. aromatics are not the focus of the dish, and are added to give background depth. aromatics include onions, garlic (and other alliums), carrots, celery, ginger, turmeric root, and chillies (i.e. peppers). aromatics are not herbs, and neither are they spices.

and while we're here, seasoning by definition refers to adding herbs, spices, salts, sugars, or acids to enhance the flavour of the food, not to add new flavours. good seasoning will merely amplify or bring out what is already there.

i know they're largely insignificant, pedantic distinctions but it's something that really gets my goat lol alright thanks for coming to my ted talk

#text post #food #no hate to the person who made that poll #i'm just. uptight and annoying about cooking terms. #also this is why coriander is both a herb and spice! #the LEAVES are the herb and the SEEDS are the spice #but drying the leaves of herbs doesn't turn them into spices #that just means you've got dried herbs

I made this soup yesterday and it was soooooo good. I'm not usually a fan of carrot soups but this made me a believer. I left out the tamari and sesame oil but otherwise followed the recipe. it uses ingredients I always have on hand which is a bonus.

#recipes #soup #also this is vegan and nut free if that's relevant #also this recipe author absolutely loves cumin and coriander seeds #but you can just use ground spices #I use the full amount of cumin seeds and then ground coriander and a little extra ground cumin #I don't have a spice grinder but it all gets blended in the end anyways

Fermenting is such a tough hobby bc it photographs terribly and no one but you and the 1 or 2 people closest in your life will never enjoy the ecstatic taste and dramatic microbiome heath. It’s like “look at the process I’ve spent 5 months perfecting through blood sweat money and tears :-)” and it looks like a jar of dog vomit

#and there’s absolutely no way to convince someone about the UNBELIEVABLE array of flavors :-/ #so strong. so sour and funky #also imagine being autistic and having the only food u can think about eating have an ingredient that’s not gonna be ready for 2.5 weeks 🙄 #I’m soooo scared for when my ACV cherry tomatoes run out 😭 #you would NOT believe the symphony of sour & salt & coriander & fermenty funk & mustard seed & peppercorn I am eating

Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup

On a grey and wet day, this fragrant, brothy and hearty Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup is a warming hug in a plate, a comforting dish which elevates leftovers into a properly delicious meal! Happy Thursday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

2 heaped teaspoons Capon Fat 

1 teaspoon Graines à Roussir

300 grams/10.5 ounces leftover Roast Lamb 

a small bunch fresh Cilantro 

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce

1 1/4 litre/5 cups water

1 cup frozen broad beans

1 tablespoon demerara sugar

Melt Capon Fat in a large pot over medium-high heat.

In a mortar, quickly crush Graines à Roussir with the pestle, and add them to the hot, melted Capon Fat. Fry, a couple of minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut leftover Roast Lamb into thin slices, and add to the pot. Cook well, to brown nicely, a few minutes.

Finely chop half of the Garden Cilantro, and stir into the Lamb, along with minced garlic. Cook, 3 minutes more.

Then, season with black pepper, and deglaze with sweet soy sauce. Stir in 1 litre of the water, and bring to a rolling boil. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, a simmer, 2 hours.

Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add broad beans, and cook, about 5 minutes. Drain broad beans, and immediately plunge in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and cool.

Once cooled, peel broad beans.

Once the broth has reduced and is very fragrant, stir in demerara sugar until dissolved.

Add broad beans, and gradually stir in remaining water. Bring to the boil.

Finely chop remaining Garden Cilantro.

Serve Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup very hot, sprinkled with chopped Cilantro,

finally went to the asian grocer and bought some Szechuan pepper and, not to be homophobic, but I wasn't expecting it to be so.... fruity?

#like I've only ever had it as part of like #mala flavour profile which is like.. very savoury.. very earthy.. very chili forward #but it's more like coriander seed #probably fruitier than that even #excited to cook with it #chirp chirp bitch

June 2023: Harvest & Lurkers In The Dark

Today’s backyard garden harvest: 

This part of the neighborhood had some power out due to recent storms. I could hear the whir of generators. Little did I know that we’d have an encounter in the dark. 

The boys & I were almost to the street corner before that furthest light when a Yorkie ran up barking at us. Its owner apologized saying “I don’t have any control over him.” I politely said “that’s okay” while thinking “no shit! You don’t have control... I can hear the sound of the big ass handle of its retractable lease clattering on the sidewalk.” I pulled Silverback & The Red Menace close so they would know I was “the mastiff” & if any aggression was needed, it would be from me. For those that don’t know, Lhasa Apsos were basically the alarm system at Tibetan monasteries for ages. They barked & the Tibetan mastiffs came running but trust me they followed them into the fray. 

Considering the situation, the boys were well behaved. We finally got to the corner & the Yorkie broke off engagement once we were past the edge of its yard. Its owner asked if “we were alright.” He meant me & him. I said “we’re cool.” No harm had been done & I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I was more concerned about my dogs doing his dog harm than his doing mine any. I mean, The Red Menace, who is the smaller of the two, has 2 rats, 1 squirrel & 3 birds on his kill list. Doing grievous harm to a Yorkie might have been enough to bump him to second level:

I don't eat kitniyot on Passover which means that my attempt to make kosher for passover palak paneer and aloo gobi are both going to be slightly weird

#turmeric cayenne and cinnamon are all ok but cumin and cardamon are not #coriander seeds are but i'll just use cilantro leaves instead to get the vibes #i also purchased a weird soy sauce substitute and shall be using it to attempt adobo chicken. this passover we're getting interesting. #not now though. now i'm going to just make an entire plate of devilled eggs for lunch

Just put a new batch of coriander seed pickled tomatoes in the fridge let’s fucking goooooooooooo. You guys if I could only have one pickled vegetable for the rest of my life it’d be these or beets. None of you will try this but that’s ok. I’m slowly converting the people around me one by one. No I haven’t packed for two weeks up north and I’m leaving in 9-10 hours why do you ask

#the coriander seeds were so random I just had a bunch in my cabinet but now I’ll never do it another way #I was SLAMMED with fatigue today it was unreal
