Grilled salmon with ginger Slow cooked lamb curry with tomatoes, garlic & garam masala Chilled Lemon Grass and Coriander Vichyssoise | Recipes | Delia Online First of all, strip the coriander leaves from the stalks and reserve both the leaves and the stalks. Lemon grass is dealt with in exactly the same way as leeks: that is, you trim the root and the tough top away, leaving about 6 inches (15 cm) of stem, remove the outer skin and chop the lemon grass quite finely. Then do the same with the spring onions. Next, gather up all the trimmings from both, wash them and pop them into a saucepan together with the coriander stalks, some salt and 1½ pints (850 ml) water and simmer (covered) for about 30 minutes to make a stock. To make the soup, melt the butter in a large saucepan, then add the chopped lemon grass, onions (reserve the spring onions till later) and potatoes and keeping the heat low, let the vegetables sweat gently (covered) for about 10 minutes. After that, pour in the stock through a strainer, discard the debris, then add the milk and about three-quarters of the coriander leaves.
