I, too, avoid the sieve whenever I can in those situations (I once made raspberry coulis and it took about an hour to push it all through, with the seeds left in the sieve).

Cooking hell surely involves sieving but it does make the sauce look lovely in this dish. Will be interested to hear when you make it<BR/><BR/>Thanks Ann - I'm glad you think it gorgeous as I grimaced a little at the gap between my memory and the photos!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-38748522442766269112008-06-29T21:00:00.000+10:002008-06-29T21:00:00.000+10:00Gorgeous hearty-looking dish!Gorgeous hearty-looking dish!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-69701772287634916912008-06-29T16:54:00.000+10:002008-06-29T16:54:00.000+10:00Is Yarrow's name actually Yarrow?

Will perhaps wait until Autumn but I will try it!<BR/>PS Also shudder at the thought of sieving. Especially soups.
