Cilantro

[perkk]

Cilantro, as it is know in Americas, or the the leaf form of Coriander as it known else where in the world, is something I love, but is something that geometrician hates. So sometimes, on nights when he's not in town, I sneak off and indulge in this forbidden herb.

Poll CilantroDoes anyone have any recipes that really accentuates the flavor of Cilantro that they would

I always like Cilantro, but like you, things I did not like as a child I can more easily appreciate more now.

So-- do tell. What's your "I love cilantro" dish that you make when you have a meal to yourself?

I guess I'm looking for some. I like it on Mexican style tacos and in salsa and in sauces and in pho. My attempts to cook with it seem to pale to the dishes I find else where out and about.

EW! I'd better not find cilantro dregs in my kitchen when I get home!

Fear naught dear, I went out.

Chelation?

Discredited years ago, when I was a chemistry undergrad. It was a popular word among the whacko quacky quacks aficionados of... less than credible medicine because most people that did some actual legwork to check into their claims would find a lot of information about an actual chemical process, which they would not have the knowledge to understand.

I sort of feel sorry for people who can't enjoy cilantro.

Great Article! Thank you for sharing it!

I love cilantro and could eat a pound of it straight up, but I also totally understand why some people hate it.

After reading a bit, I think I may need to find some root of it to try in soups!

You can use clumps with the stalks for soups, if you don't want to deal with the stalks, cook in an herb ball or bag. Consider a leek and cilantro cream based soup. Infuse the liquid with the non leaf part of the herb before starting and then add the chopped leaves near the end.

I think I have a project for next week! Thank you!
