Celebration menu Starter: Spiced grilled potatoes with coriander dip

Potatoes:

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut in half. Dry fry the cumin lightly. Mix the spelt breadcrumbs, ground cumin and salt. Coat the potato halves with melted ghee and roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Bake on a baking tray for 40-50 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through. Sprinkle each potato with a pinch of salt and parsley and serve hot or cold.

You can add other herbs to the breadcrumb mix according to taste, such as rosemary, thyme, fennel seeds or sesame seeds.

Coriander dip:

Put all the ingredients (apart from the salt and peppers) in a blender, blend to a smooth puree and season with salt to taste. Pour into a serving dish (or next to the potatoes on a plate), garnish with the finely diced peppers and serve.
