coriander....

hotcookie101

I just got a HUGE bunch of coriander whoopsied for 6p. Now I love coriander and when I picked it up was sure I could think of a hundred different things I could do with it..... But my mind has gone blank!
Can anyone give me some inspiration. I have lamb mince (but its minced breast so pretty fatty) diced shoulder, whole legs and shoulder joints, chops and cutlets(just bought a whole lamb), beef mince, frying steaks, chicken breasts and thighs and probably loads of other things in the freezer, but not a huge amount of room to put more stuff in, so ideally want things that use a fair amount of coriander but that I am not going to have too many leftovers.... Its just me and my OH, who has a HUGE appetite
Really looking forward to hearing your ideas

Chop the ends of the stalks and stand it in a jug of water in a cool place or let it have a drink then put in a lidded container in the fridge.

Freeze it!

Wash it, bag it up and freeze it. I always do this with any leftover fresh herbs.

FRESH RED SALSA

Enough for a large bag of tortilla chips

INGREDIENTS

1 small pack of fresh coriander
1 clove of garlic
1 green chilli pepper
½ a red sweet pepper
½ an onion
2 tomatoes
1 tablespoon of olive oil
A pinch of salt

METHOD

Wash the coriander and shake dry. Peel the garlic. Cut the top off the chilli pepper, cut it in half and scrape out the seeds. Cut the top off the sweet pepper, remove the middle bit with the seeds and cut it in half. Use half and save the other half. Peel the onion and cut it in half. Use half and save the other half.

If you don’t have a food processor, chop the chilli pepper, coriander, garlic, sweet pepper and onion into tiny pieces. Chop the tomatoes into 5mm (¼ inch) pieces. Put all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix together.

If you have a food processor, coarsely chop the onion, sweet pepper and tomatoes. Put all of the ingredients into it and process for 1 minute.

Leave for 30 minutes for the flavours to mix.

FRESH CHILLI PEPPER WARNING!

When you chop up fresh chilli peppers be careful and avoid getting juice on your hands. If you touch your eyes, mouth or other ‘sensitive areas’, even an hour after chopping them, they will smart and burn. So wash your hands or wear rubber gloves.
