So I have a lot of coriander. I am thinking of making the RecipeTin Nandos chicken rice, but perhaps I should chop and freeze the rest of it

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You just reminded me I was going to sprinkle some fresh corriander on my fish curry last night. I guess it is a bit late now.

I chop and freeze a lot of herbs, including corriander. I mix them with oil and freeze them in ice cube trays. You can also add water if that suits your recipes better, but I am usually adding oil anyway and because the oil is a bit soft you can chop a cube in half if you need to.

I do the cube thing too. It's not quite as good as fresh, but much better than dried.

I highly recommend that chicken rice, it's freaking delicious.

Agreed, my sister made it a few months ago and it was really good.

You can't go wrong with Nagi - RecipeTinEats is a jewel of its kind.

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Nagi is great!!

Do it. In very very sad news, Dozer, chief taste tester of recipe tin has passed away. Make a meal in his honor. I’m sad for him and Nagi.
