JD I noticed that you had coriander paste in your list. I recently bought a big bunch of coriander to make Morrocan Chicken but the DH did the cooking and just figured we didn't have any so it didn't get used. I want to freeze it so that I can have it on hand but what is the best way?

Would you also freeze parsley as well? And if so, in the same way as the coriander?

Can you freeze frittata... would be useful for school lunches if it is successful. DD is very fussy.

[fundj&e]

i dont courton, maybe i did try it years ago and it did not freeze well.

Kerryn, the coriander paste is the recipe from the Indian book which is very spicy and I have that frozen in tiny plastic medicine cups  but I also did a batch of coriander and oil for general use to replace coriander in a recipe. It's the same as I do with excess basil.

Remove leaves from the plant, wash and shake in a sieve then dry with paper towels (if it needs it, I find my coriander is generally very clean).
Place 3 large handfuls into the TM bowl with 2 - 3 tblspns olive oil.
Press turbo button twice, scrape down sides and repeat.
Place roughly 100g into small ziplock bags, flatten out, express the air and seal or freeze teaspoonsful on a tray then once frozen transfer them to a ziplock bag.
Will last 12 months.
You can snap off the amount required if you have frozen it in a thin slab.
This works well in sauces or curries.

With parsley I would chop, place 1 - 2 tablespoonful into ice trays and top up with water. Just throw a cube or 2 into any dish with a sauce.

I had posted it here in spices etc Hally but now it's in the freezing section that should cover it pretty well.
