CorianderI'm reading some old posts, and I'm feeling really wistful: in February spring seems close, but winter can be unbearable.
I want that my plants grow soon, that the 'garden work' will become harvest instead of sow... but while I wait, I cook using the few fresh aromatic herbs from my garden, first of all the coriander.


This recipe is the eggless remake of a similar one, that was a real treat: Spelt and lentil fritters. This new version uses frozen spinach because (sigh...) this time I haven't any greens to harvest.

Kamut Kebabs with Coriander

Kamut Kebabs with Coriander

Ingredients
2 tbsp kamut
1 tbsp pearl barley
1 tbsp red lentils
1 tbsp yellow lentils
50g frozen spinach
3 tbsp chickpeas flour
3 tbsp grated parmesan
2 sprigs of fresh coriander
1/2 onion

Directions
Cook kamut, pearl barley, red and yellow lentils boiling salted water for 45-50 minutes, until tender.
Meanwhile cook the spinach and drain well.
Mince legumes, grains, spinach, onion and fresh coriander with a blender. Add the chickpeas flour and parmesan.
Shape into small balls and fry them in oil until golden brown.

Serve with chutney: I used my Quick Chutney.

This goes to Cinzia from Cindystar who's hosting this week's edition of Weekend Herb Blogging.
This event is handled by Cook (almost) anything at least once.

Ciao Cristina, sostituisci il coriandolo con del prezzemolo, qualche goccia di limone e del cumino se ne hai: ovviamente non è la stessa cosa, ma è meglio che non usarlo affatto. Fammi sapere!
