Recipe Notes

You can use pre-ground coriander, but try grinding your own from coriander seeds using a mortar and pestle. The fragrance of freshly ground spice is part of what is so fabulous 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."
