    Recipe Black eyed bean salad

    Ground coriander seed, coriander leaves (cilantro) and clementine add a delicate aromatic flavour to this simple salad. You could substitute a different type of bean but I think the firm texture and nutty, earthy flavour of black eyed beans works well here. Ingredients 1 400g can black eyed...

    Recipe Kerala prawn curry with coriander

    This dish is one of my favourites. Creamy coconut milk, sweet prawns, little crunchy bits of coriander stalk and mustard seeds and a nice bite from the chile powder. You can make this perfectly well with fish, if you haven't go prawns, and you can add more chile (I'd recommend a couple of green...

    Recipe Slow cooked lamb and potato with coriander and lemon

    Coriander leaves (cilantro) are generally added to dishes at the end of cooking because they tend to lose flavour when cooked. However, if used in generous amounts, including the stalks, coriander leaves can survive slow cooking, particularly with sweet, mild meat such as lamb. In this recipe...

    Recipe Thai Steamed Seabass with Coriander and Lime

    My wife and I went to a Thai restaurant last week and ordered something like this, so I decided to try to make something similar; after consulting a few different recipes, this is my quite coriander-y version. It's quite easy to do if you know how to steam a fish and I imagine is quite healthy...

    Recipe Cauliflower & cheese curry (Ghobi Paneer)

    This is adapted from Rhagavan Iyer's recipe in his book "660 curries". He uses canola oil, which I dislike, and a whole bunch of fresh chiles, which I cut back on. You can make this vegan (I think) by using vegetable oil and firm tofu. Ingredients: 2 tbsps ghee or vegetable oil 1 medium...

    Recipe Vegan Coriander Pesto

    I spotted some excellent coriander leaves, stalks and roots at one of the farmers markets today, so grabbed both bunches. I also grabbed some of their garlic. Garlic is grown locally commercially so we can often pick up what they call the seconds at the farmers markets (basically split bulbs...

    Recipe Fried Kibbeh

    This is a variation of classic Lebanese fried kibbeh, which are torpedo-shaped shells of minced beef and cracked wheat, stuffed with a mixture of meat, onions and spices. The process is a little fussy, so I decided to make it a bit easier and avoid the stuffing. My torpedoes are dreadful; I...

    Recipe Crispy pork belly with coriander, peanut and red onion salad

    I didn't come up with this recipe (I lifted it almost verbatim from Neil Perry) so I don't think it deserves to be a serious contender in the contest. The star is obviously the coriander, but the secret ingredients are the peanut oil and the Chinkiang vinegar which act as the dressing. Add to...

    Recipe Potato salad with avocado and coriander dressing

    With six ingredients, this is a simple recipe. Avocado and coriander (cilantro) combine to make a light creamy dressing (with less than half the calories of mayonnaise). Crispy bacon adds a salty smokiness, pickled lemon the necessary sourness. If you can’t get pickled lemons you could...

    The recipe is loosely based on 2 recipes from "Australian woman's weekly: lamb". Indeed lamb. But I used ground beef. And about 1/3 of the meat, same of the herbs and spices as almost all food is too lightly spiced for me (unless it is SE Asian and meant for the SE Asian market) Ingredients...

    Fresh Coriander/Cilantro

    I've been using more and more parts of the fresh coriander plant after watching (don't shoot me just yet please) TV cooking shows. I never used to use the roots at all. In fact I have to confess to never really understanding why they sold coriander with roots on. I don't think I recall bunched...
