2 garlic cloves -- roughly chopped

2 mild red chillies -- seeded and roughly chopped

1 large bunch fresh coriander -- roughly chopped

1 can chickpeas -- drained (15 oz)

1 lime -- juice only

4 tbsp olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Crispy Garlic Pitta:

3 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves -- crushed

2 tbsp fresh parsley -- chopped

4 white pitta breads

 

1. Place the garlic, chillies and coriander in a food processor and

whizz until finely chopped. Add the chickpeas and whizz until well

blended.

 

2. With the motor running, squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle in

the olive oil to make a fairly coarse paste. Season well to taste and

spoon into a serving bowl.

season. Heat one side of the pitta breads under a hot grill for about

1 minute until well browned.

5 times without cutting through the bread. Brush with the herb and oil

mixture and return to the grill until bubbling and toasted about 1

minute).

I am a bit confused by these two recipes....coriander is the seed of the

cilantro plant. So what is confusing me is " 1 large bunch fresh coriander

-- roughly chopped " . My guess is it must really is refering to the leaves,

which would be the cilantro; and that these two recipes are one and the

same(??)

Yes, it is the fresh leaves to be chopped. Sorry it wasn't clear.
