What is for brunch or lunch ?

Calli, I usually make kedgeree with smoked salmon - it's delicious. And considerably easier that last night's recipe.

GF breadcrumbed chicken breast with oven chips and coleslaw tonight.

I think that whatever you call it - cilantro, coriander- it's the work of the devil. It tastes like soap to me.

Coriander is coriander but cilantro in America I believe.

If Mary, Delia, Jamie, Rick, Felicity et al call it coriander then that's good enough for me.

I get confused enough with zucchini and eggplants when we're in Australia.
In Australia, coriander is also the preferred word for the plant, following the European standard. In the United States and South and Central America, cilantro is the word used for the leaves, while coriander generally refers to the seeds

I can't seem to grow it in the garden.

Well, our kedgeree wasn't worth the effort. Though it had coriander seeds, chopped stalks and leaves amongst lots of other ingredients.

I do like kedgeree but usually make it with smoked haddock, parsley etc and rather a lot of butter. DH isn't so keen so we haven't had it for quite some time.

I wanted to say, if you do not care for salmon, try the recipe with perch or haddock or cod ..

Comes out quite lovely too and ingredients are very flexible.

Off for a light bite at our corner tapas bar .. and a short walk with our Frenchie Bull Dog.

Have a nice evening.

1 tbsp fresh cilantro - can sub parsley if you wish
Surely cilantro is what we call coriander in English?

To my knowledge:

Coriander is Dry Cilantro ..

The fresh herb is Cilantro and it is Mexican historically ..

I’m out

Love the salmon recipes, as I don’t like salmon, I’ll use on other fish, thank you all. We’ve had cottage pie, carrots and broccoli.
Coriander/Cilantro, I think the UK are unusual as we use the name Coriander for both the fresh plant and the seeds, in many other countries, Cilantro is fresh, Coriander the dried seeds.

Jaxjacky,

"Exactly, in many other countries, Cilantro is the fresh plant or herb, Coriander the dried seeds" ..

Since I am French and live in Spain, almost 33 years, it is Cilantro for us ..

In other languages coriander
Arabic: كُزْبَرَة
Brazilian Portuguese: coentro.
Chinese: 芫荽
Croatian: korijandar.
Czech: koriandr.
Danish: koriander.
Dutch: koriander.
European Spanish: cilantro.

Now you’ve got me Googling and there are other Moussakas!
It seems there is a significant difference between the Turkish and Greek versions of this dish. Namely, the Turkish version is not layered and baked and looks like stew made of equal parts auberigine, tomato, onions and minced meat, and is usually served with the Turkish version of pilaf.
A lighter take on the classic Greek casserole, Egyptian moussaka layers saucy spiced ground beef with onion, bell peppers, garlic, and tender roasted eggplant. With no béchamel sauce, this gluten-free recipe is quick and easy enough for a weeknight.

Every day’s a school day on GN!

Every day is a school day!

I've never had or made with any mince (even pre-vegan). I have always disliked mince and was/am delighted to use recipes without.

Meanwhile, Mexican was dinner, with fresh cilantro.

We are having smoked mackeral kedgeree. Recipe ripped out of one of the Sunday supplements. Wish me luck.

M&S do a good stirfry, separate packets, chicken, beef or prawns, different veg, different noodles (we like Singapore) and you can choose different sauces.

The simpler the better

Simple but tried and tested and good.

We're having salmon tonight.

Unfortunately, I don't have most of the ingredients on the list so will add some butter or olive oil, lime juice and parsley then bake in tinfoil.
With new potatoes and broccoli.

Sounds exceptionally good too ..

We had salmon cooked in foil last night, with noodles and stir fry. I love the fact that a healthy meal is popular with both of us.

Tonight it’s Cajun chicken with jackets and probably stir fry again.
Home made stir fry is filling and means I’m eating lots of different things (but no grated carrot!)

The reason I asked do you have a YouTube channel is because you posted a photo where you said it had been made from scratch.
As the same photo is on YouTube I wanted confirmation or not that you did or did not have a Chanel.

A light dinner bite:

A slice of Focaccia ..

Petra,

I answered you.

This focaccia was originally prepared in Milano, Italia at a Culinary Course ..

For brunch or lunch?
For tomorrow?
