Smash it up

by IsaChandra

My new kitchen addiction is crushing seeds instead of grinding them. It adds a nice crunchiness and the flavor seems more intense. What I do is dry toast the spice (say, coriander seed) then place it in a plastic bag, put some newspaper over the plastic bag, take a hammer and smash the bejeezus out of it. It's punk and yummy. Now I need to find more food that I can hammer.

    Thanks for the great post,i love to read articles that are informative and beneficial in nature. Landlords would advertise any private apartment listings by simply putting a ‘for rent’ sign in the front yard.
