Try that salad dressing. I also drizzle it over lamb before I cook it. Steak too sometimes.

I make spinach pastries called ftayer that have finely chopped English or baby spinach with onion, salt, lemon juice, sumac and a drizzle of the molasses. You can put citric acid in too. Make them into little pies with a shortcrust pastry and bake them.

Yes to all that but those ftayer look dead classy, I'm going to get that off pat, in case Soren comes over Grin

And best consmed RAW, for maximum benifit

1 cup grated raw beetroot
1 cup grated raw carrot
1 cup grated raw ginger

Cover with 50/50 extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice
( ... leave for a couple of days in fridge)

Serve about half a cup on a bed of bean sprouts

The BEST daily serve of DETOX and ANTI-OXIDENT imaginable

Yuuum!

As it happens, for my brunch, I just polished-off a plate of shredded and lightly-steamed salad-cum-stir-fry vegies - including the key ingredients of beetroot and carrot!

Soren will be unable to make it due to a prior commitment. He's camped out at Bondi in hopes that Frederik and Mary will return before they leave for Denmark.

I'm glad you guys joined the Nationals too Tongue

Beetroot leaves make a nice addition to salad too.

As far as coriander/ cilantro is concerned, I think it comes down to individuals and the affect it has on their tastebuds. Have you ever accidentally tasted engine oil? What about rusty metal? Combine the two and add some stale dishwater and you get close to what I experience when I accidentally ingest that poison known as coriander leaves.

- but apparently not everybody has the same experience.

Strangely enough, I love coriander seeds. I add them to TVP to make "veggie meat" quite a lot. I make some awesome veggie sausage rolls - much better than you can buy in the shops. I'll share my recipe some time, but most people on here probably prefer the meat variety. (That recipe coincidentally needs a little beetroot juice to improve the colour.)

It does. You know, I've never tried duck. Is it good?

Muso, do you get irritated when people can't understand your hatred for coriander? I don't like seafood and people are often incredulous. I can eat prawns and some fish, but everything else is gagworthy.

Rice thins with, avocado, tomato and char grilled oil and vinegared eggplant (out of jar) are lunch today.

Yes, I like falafel. I have made my own, but it's just as easy to get falafel mix.

One of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten was a duck l'orange - masterfully made by a reclusive old country hick who had no front teeth!
