Well I wrote a couple weeks about my surprise of the missing tomoatos, last week I went back to my favorite Mexican restaurant at work and noticed cilantro has also been removed as a choice of condiments. Going back to my desk I discovered that cilantro and peppers have been added to the list of produce that has been reported tainted with salmonella. With the whole law of supply and demand mayb

Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) has glossy parsley-like foliage that at times makes it hard to tell the difference between parsley and cilantro at the produce market. All you need to do is smell the light pungent aroma, and you'll know the difference. Grow cilantro in light well-drained soil in ...

I have, over the years, attempted to grow cilantro several times. Each time the plants bolted before I got much use out of them. This year I planted a bunch of seed in October, when the scorching Sacramento summer weather cooled down, and the plants have been thriving for months. As the cilantro gets more mature, the stems thicken and the leaves get much bigger, signaling "pre-b

El compuesto se llama dodecenal y se encuentra en las hojas y semillas del cilantro. Los

I've always been a bit cookbook-challenged, which means I rarely make a recipe the way the cookbook author writes it. I do use cookbooks endlessly though to get ideas for flavor combinations. This recipe combined ingredients paired with mangos in two of my favorite cookbooks, with a few of my own food preferences thrown in. I was completely taken with the combination of flavors (and once again I ate all the salad in the photo before I even looked at the photos - very bad food blogger!) It does have strong flavors, but if you like all the ingredients, definitely give this one a try.This salad has a lot to choose from for Weekend Herb Blogging, where you can write about any herb, plant, vegetable, or flower, but I'm going to feature hearts of palm, an ingredient I learned to love in college,

Many people have a misconception that "Pesto" can only be made with Basil. But actually, the name pesto comes from the same Latin root of "pestle," which means a sauce made by crushing a few key ingredients together. Basil, parmesan and pine nuts have been primary for the basic italian Basil Pesto, but lately, parsely and cilantro have become favored alternatives to the traditional recipe. I used cilantro, sweet-corn, parmesan cheese and walnuts for my Cilantro-Walnut Pesto, and added some jalapenos for the spicy kick. This pesto has a smooth texture, and serves to be a great dipping sauce with chips or any other finger food.Ingredients1 and 1/2 cup fresh cilantro - washed and chopped1/4 cup sweet corn kernels1/3 cup walnuts1/2 cup parmesan cheese6-8 tbsp olive oil2-3 jalapeno rings (or se

I do not like to cook. Period. But a couple days ago I stumbled upon a recipe I'd torn out of a magazine ages ago. It was for Empanadas. A salad was pictured with the empanadas, but I didn't have the recipe for that. So I did what I thought would taste good, and wow! -- Lunch was a hit! Here is how to make the empanadas: 1 pound refrigerator pizza dough (Next time I'll make my own) 1 can

Lon and I love trying new stuff so when we saw a new herb in the farmer's market, we had to try it. The sign said Delfino Cilantro and it smells just like the cilantro or Chinese parsley available in your local supermarket. The fern-like leaves are attractive and the flavor is like a parsley/cilantro mix in a milder form with a hint of citrus.The flavor seems too mild to withstand cooking but works well raw: try salads, salsas, or freshly chopped and sprinkled on to any dish right before serving.

So, what is the relationship between coriander & cilantro? That’s what I’ve been wondering and I think I’ve tracked down the answer. The word ‘coriander’ can be used to describe the whole of an annual plant in the parsley family: leaves, stems, seeds & all. However, when speaking of coriander, most are referring to the spice produced from the seeds of the herb. The leaves of the plant are called cilantro, which derives from the Spanish word for coriander. Ahhh, this makes sense, since the leaves and the ripened seeds taste quite different from each other. Coriander seems to get a better rap than its counterpart cilantro. Coriander has a pleasing lemon-like flavor accompanied by a sweet aroma. Cilantro, on the other hand, is quite a different story. I found it hilarious that there is actually a site out there that bears much hatred to the wonderful leaf- IHateCilantro.com. You should really browse around, it’s pretty cute. Make sure you check out the graphs

1 cup mayonnaise or veganise 2 tablespoons capers, drained 3 tablespoons black olives, pitted, chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 lemon, juice of 1 teaspoon dijon mustard salt and black pepper to taste Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Comments: In place of cilantro, use basil, tarragon, chives, thyme, oregano, or even Italian or regular parsley.

3 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves 1/4 cup water 1 Tbsp. olive oil 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice 1/4 tsp. grated lime zest 1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced 1/4 tsp. salt 4, 6 oz. red snapper fillets, skinned Preheat oven to 400 degrees. To make cilantro sauce, puree cilantro, water, oil, lime juice, lime zest, serrano pepper and salt in a blender. Spray four 12-inch squares of foil with olive oil nonstick spray. Place a fillet on the center of each piece; spread each with one-quarter of the cilantro sauce (about 2 tablespoons). Fold each piece of foil into a packet, making a tight seal allowing room for the packets to expand. Transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Bake until snapper is just opaque in the center, 13 to 15 minutes. Open packets carefully when testing for doneness, as steam will escape.

1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup lime juice 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1 pound yellowfin tuna fillets 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro In a medium bowl, mix together 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice, balsamic vinegar, garlic, ginger, and 1/4 cup cilantro. Add tuna fillets, and turn to coat evenly. Let marinate for several hours in the refrigerator. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. In a small bowl, mix together honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; set aside. When grill is hot, reduce heat to low, and place tuna fillets on grate. Close lid, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip fillets over carefully, and close lid again for another minute to sear fish. Open lid, and continue cooking until barely done, basting frequently with marinade. When fish is almost cooked through, brush the honey glaze over both sides of fish, and remove

I ran the Naples - New York Park to Park race this morning in Central Park as part of Team in Training. Lon and Ice came to cheer me on in my second race ever. This was my first experience ever in grabbing water while running and while I did manage to hydrate, I also snorted water up my nose, and spilled it all over myself.After the race, we headed south to find an area for Ice to play ball. After Ice was completely worn out, we headed out of the park in search for lunch with outdoor seating and found Cilantro.Cilantro A basket of fried tortillas with cinnamon and 2 mini blueberry muffins(delicious) is placed on the table for customers to much while browsing the menu.
