He escorted this ole fave to the table. Herby blk bnz with avo were the headline while the pear, tomato and shredded beetroot salad offered moral support.
HE SAYS: Lots and lots of fresh coriander was duly chopped and placed in the pot for this batch (about a handful or two over the normal quota) and the result was herbtastic. Unfortunately I cooked up brown rice instead of the silky smooth palenta that we've come to know and luv, making it feel a little heavy on the tum. Still, a satisfying bowl of wonderfulness was had by all two of us. As for the salad - lovely, pear is the new radish this week for me.
SHE SAYS: Truly excellent batch o' bnz. Adding lots of coriander is one of the keystones of aromatic black bnz (selectively pureeing to release full flavour is the other), but he took it to a new height tonite. It really was too-too. I did wish we'd had polenta, though - perhaps you've noticed we're a little riced out this week? Wasn't sure how tomato would take to pear, but they traded sweet for acidic well enough.

i'm with you, noel, I'm not a fan of mixing tomato with fruit - though I have to keep stopping my b.friend from attempting this combo...Just made some blk beans today in the crock pot - kept intentionally unseasoned for versatility throughout the week. Will try the coriander!
hey, I'm also a huge fan of polenta lately. See my blog post:

Seriously, grrl, big handfuls of coriander (cilantro) and bring on the hand blender!
We do instanty M&S polenta, but will peruse your polenta post more carefully...
