Cilantro is also known as Chinese Parsley or Coriander and is virtually used in every cuisine around the world. Cilantro’s flavor can be described as a combination of parsley and citrus-like notes. CIlantro can be sprinkled on top of egg rolls and spring rolls, used to add a bright flavor to lobster and crab, mixed into polenta, or even chopped into salsa. Cilantro pairs well with avocado, carrots, zucchini, tomato, coconut milk, citrus, ginger, mint, lemongrass, chili peppers, yogurt, chicken, lamb, and white fish.
Cilantro will keep 5-7 days when stored unwashed, in a sealed container in the refrigerator and should be added only at the very final stage of finishing a dish.
