And if you save fennel seeds you should try harvesting some of them green and letting them dry, they have much more flavor than the seeds that dry on the plant. I'll have to remember your method of cooking the sweet potatoes, it sounds so quick and easy, it makes me want to go out a buy a couple right now and give it a try.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-28779478413944568682014-02-03T10:00:42.793-05:002014-02-03T10:00:42.793-05:00I think that the visual aspects of food are very i...I think that the visual aspects of food are very important, so I understand your desire to have contrasting colours on the plate. The black bean and sweet potato soup is a bit "sludgy" though! Not being critical here - just stating a fact. I read somewhere recently about keeping coriander seed in a grinder like a pepper-grinder, thus having it readily available for adding a bit of a different flavour. Sounds good to me.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-18121417109695273152014-02-03T09:35:01.835-05:002014-02-03T09:35:01.835-05:00Love that gorgeous purple color of the sweet potat...Love that gorgeous purple color of the sweet potatoes.
