I love Mexican food, the eating and the cooking of it and I thought it was about time I started to grow my own ingredients. As we don't have a greenhouse, putting chillies out of the question, I settled on growing a South American herb called quillquiña. It has a sharp, earthy citrus taste and used a bit like coriander in salsas although two or three leaves seem to be enough. I started them off indoors in the spring
and finally decided now summer is here it is about time I placed them into the herb patch. They should grow to be around 3 feet tall.
And my herbs really need a good long drink. Time to see if there is any easy Inca or Aztec rain dances in honour of my new Latino import.
I like veggie Mexican food too.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of quillquiña. I have to admit I had never heard of it until your introduced it to me. So Thanks. Hope it does wel now its in the ground.
I am wishing the rain from Scotland heads your way. I would like a dry weekend.
