Coriander oil



Get a handful of coriander(cilantro) leaves, cover with olive oil and liquidize.
Leave in the fridge for two to three days.
Using a fine material like cotton or muslin in a funnel let the mixture drip down into a bottle.
This oil will keep out side the fridge for months .
I plan on storing it for the winter months.
Enjoy this oil over savoury stuffed pancakes,with lime juice for any thai style salad,with rice,added to sauces,to lentils,over pizzas....I could go on and on.

Coriander and almond pesto



Take one bunch of coriander,one clove of garlic,half a handful of almonds(raw if you want a smooth paste-toasted if you want some texture),squeeze of a lime or a lemon,chopped and seeded red chilli(about a thumbnail size),olive oil (about a tablespoon).Liquidize until you have a smooth paste and salt to taste(or more lemon,chilli or garlic...it,s all about playing folks...see what you like)
I make this always as a thick paste with a layer of olive oil on top ...it will keep for weeks in the fridge.its greated oiled down as a dressing,or on pasta,or on crostini,or in thai curries,or,or ,or....
