Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup
Tumblr media
On a grey and wet day, this fragrant, brothy and hearty Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup is a warming hug in a plate, a comforting dish which elevates leftovers into a properly delicious meal! Happy Thursday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 heaped teaspoons Capon Fat 
1 teaspoon Graines à Roussir
300 grams/10.5 ounces leftover Roast Lamb 
a small bunch fresh Cilantro 
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
1 1/4 litre/5 cups water
1 cup frozen broad beans
1 tablespoon demerara sugar
Melt Capon Fat in a large pot over medium-high heat.
In a mortar, quickly crush Graines à Roussir with the pestle, and add them to the hot, melted Capon Fat. Fry, a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, cut leftover Roast Lamb into thin slices, and add to the pot. Cook well, to brown nicely, a few minutes.
Finely chop half of the Garden Cilantro, and stir into the Lamb, along with minced garlic. Cook, 3 minutes more.
Then, season with black pepper, and deglaze with sweet soy sauce. Stir in 1 litre of the water, and bring to a rolling boil. Cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, a simmer, 2 hours.
Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add broad beans, and cook, about 5 minutes. Drain broad beans, and immediately plunge in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and cool.
Once cooled, peel broad beans.
Once the broth has reduced and is very fragrant, stir in demerara sugar until dissolved.
Add broad beans, and gradually stir in remaining water. Bring to the boil.
Finely chop remaining Garden Cilantro.
Serve Cilantro Lamb and Broad Bean Soup very hot, sprinkled with chopped Cilantro,

Basil (the herb) is a whore and you should know that before your second year with it in the flower bed
#emma posts#so is cilantro#my mom was like ‘oh you can have a few plants I want to use in the kitchen. right?’#and I was a teenager and my raised beds are on family property so I didn’t really have a choice#but. while the kale was pretty normal. THE CILANTRO AND ARUGULA WERE WHORES#whores I did NOT sign up for#I wanted the basil myself so dealing with that is annoying but whatever#but the worst part is that my mom didn’t even eat the plants she had me grow!!!#she ate ones I decided to grow because the family likes strawberries and raspberries#I need to get mint again#and sage#but ANYWAY#I did know that all of these plants were whores#i just wasn’t there when they first started sprouting#I’m going to be going home more often this month and my mom wants the yard looking good for my brothers graduation party#so today was my first garden day of the year#it was nice but my back hates me and I really should have worn gloves (I didn’t know where my mom put mine)#but I hope the plants do well while I’m gone#the basil should be fine. I’d be genuinely surprised if that hoard all died#but the new plants i added for it to look better. those I’ve never had myself#although I’ve wanted to#don’t think I have a green thumb. it’s maybe greenish but half the work is done by the dirt here#it’s just like ‘on it boss 👍’#I should move some catnip into my garden#the stuff in front of my parents house could use some seperating#my strawberries were little bitches last year though so I have to be extra careful this year#I like the variety I have and I don’t know what it’s called so if it dies I’m out of luck#it’s a really cool variety. it actually blooms twice a summer#I can’t keep plants alive inside very long though:(#except my current African violet that takes anything I throw at it

Someone in the neighborhood was giving away "fill dirt" so we have two garbage cans full of free dirt:

Breakfast burrito - bacon, scrambled eggs, lettuce with homegrown cilantro & chives. The pale purple bits are the diced chive blossoms. You could seriously be a "gourmet" if you started to listen to what your grandmother & grandmothers around the world were desperately trying to teach you:

Lini 910 Lambrusca. This is an amazing food friendly sparkling red wine:

Volunteer cucurbit. We've got at least six of these coming up & we won't know what they are until they form their secondary leaves:

It’s easy to feel like it’s the end of the world when you open your phone just to see children gasping for their last breath. I took a couple days off social media to remember that there are some good things in this world if you look for them.

Edible Herbs, Flowers, and Greens
It's a riot of colors and flavors with Borage, Dill, Cilantro, Arugula, Parsley, Yellow Cress, and purple, green and fine leaved mustards.
I let them bloom and reseed year to year, and now this part of the garden is left to it's own nature. I planted most of these about 6-10 years ago and I have never needed to purchase any more seed to keep it going. I love it.

Cold Cilantro Cantaloupe Soup
Tumblr media
On a hot Summer day, when the temperature is soaring to 31°C and hotter, this refreshing Cold Cilantro Cantaloupe Soup is delightfully fragrant and cooling! Enjoying it al fresco in the garden, where the cilantro was picked, seems to make it taste even better! Happy Sunday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
1 large, ripe cantaloupe
a small bunch Garden Cilantro 
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
1 tablespoon Chili and Herb Oil 
2 tablespoons good White Port
2 Marigold Flowers
1 tablespoons Chili and Herb Oil 
Halve and seed cantaloupe. Scoop about three-quarters of its flesh into a blender. Tear in Cilantro, saving a few leaves for garnish. Season with fleur de sel and Chili and Herb Oil. Process until well-blended and very smooth.
Add White Port and process once more. Pour Cantaloupe Soup into two serving bowls; set aside.
Using an apple corer, make melon balls with remaining cantaloupe.
Garnish Cantaloupe Soup with cantaloupe balls, Marigold Flowers and reserved Cilantro leaves. Chill in the refrigerator, at least a couple of hours.
Serve Cold Cilantro Cantaloupe Soup well-chilled, drizzled with Chili and Herb Oil.

The cilantro’s are finally forming seeds. I only have ~15 plants, so I’m not sure if they'll be able to fill up a small spice jar if I want to use them in the kitchen. Maybe I’ll just save them as seeds for next year. They probably won’t even mature. The radish pods from the spring crop are still not dry.

After the dust from the Upside Down settles, and Steve gets his feet under him, he gets really into plants and gardening.
He fills his and Eddie's home with plants, as many as he can get his hands on, and he has outdoor plots that he tends to religiously.
He talks to the indoor plants, names them all. Eddie makes fun of him for it constantly, but really he finds it endearing.
Eddie doesn't understand the gardening as much- he's not as big on being outside and doing manual labour- but by god does he think it's hot seeing Steve get all sweaty pulling weeds in the summer.
Working in the garden calms Steve, it gives him a sense of purpose and fulfills his need to care for things. It feels good to get his hands dirty and he enjoys being able to see the (literal) fruits of his labour.
He has a huge vegetable garden- carrots, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, even a pineapple plant. He got it as joke for Argyle, there is no way it should have survived in Indiana for so long, yet somehow it refuses to die.
Steve likes to cook, and he loves being able to feed the people he loves with food he grew himself. His pride and joy is a large blackberry bush that sits at the front corner of the house. It was the first outdoor plant he had, it came with the house, and it's what got him into gardening. He yells at the kids constantly for stealing all the ripe ones before he can pick them for a pie.
Steve also has some fairly impressive flower plots. He likes how they bring colour and life to the exterior of the house, and after everything they went through with the Upside Down, it's a way for Steve to reassure himself. The world isn't ending- as long as the flowers are growing, as long as there is plant life and bugs and weeds trying to get into places they shouldn't be, the world isn't ending.
He sets some chairs and a little table out by his flowers, for Eddie or the kids to sit at while he gardens. Eddie sits at the table and reads, or just watches Steve work.
The kids hang out in the yard sometimes, making noise and sneaking snacks off the plants when they think Steve isn't looking.
El learns how to make bee rest stops, and little butterfly feeders out of sponges, and starts leaving them on the porch, and in the corners of Steve's gardens.
Robin and Nancy come over often, and Nancy teaches Steve and Robin to make flower crowns, a skill that Eddie takes advantage of at every opportunity.
Steve likes that his garden can be a place his family can come to rest. That they can fill his life with their loud laughter and prove to him that, even after everything, they'll be alright.
