Recipe Notes

Ground coriander is so fantastic. I keep the seeds on hand and grind them in my mortar and pestle. You don’t have to, of course, but the fragrance of freshly ground spice is part of what I love about cooking and the flavor of the coriander goes so well with the lamb.

"The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and is rewarded as such."
