But of course! I have a huge air-tight jar of cumin seed, and 2 smaller bags
of slightly differing varieties, thass why I don't need no more, juss yet
:-)
My favourite "quick fix" - fast [chilli] beans on toast style, is:
1 can b/beans (in tom sauce); 1/2 tsp. jeera seed, crushed; 2 cloves grlc,
crshd; 3 chillies finely chopped; half onion finely chopped; 1/4 - 1/2 tsp
oregano; plenty chopped fresh coriander; 1/2 tsp fresh grnd blk pepper;
butter.
Fry onion, garlic, chilli, cumin & pepper in butter (1/2 oz), until onion
etc. soft. Pour in beans, add oregano and simmer 'til beans go a bit mushy
then add chopped coriander. Stir 1 min. serve on hot buttered toast,
sprinkle with fave grated cheese.
Yum! :-)
