I am ery curious about the Moroccan coriander, not seen that before or even heard of it. My fennel plants have bolted, so I may let them just grow like you for the seeds.

I use a lot of them in the nearly weekly veggie packed frittatas that I make for my Dave that he takes for lunch. I don't even bother to rehydrate them, they soak up the moisture from the eggs and other veggies as the frittata bakes. Another dish that I like to make with them is to stew them in a tomato sauce with or without other Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-69250832684092908482017-07-31T15:19:53.172-07:002017-07-31T15:19:53.172-07:00I dry them to the point of being quite leathery, j...I dry them to the point of being quite leathery, just short of being crisp. I keep them in the fridge for long term storage, it preserves the color and they will keep well for over a year.
