On the use of cilantro someone suggested the following:
>>>>Cilantro, as far as I know, is a seasoning (herb?) and can be used in
the
same way as one would use parsley.<<<<<<
While essentially this is correct, I would caution you to include it in
Mexican and Oriental cooking. It has a very pronounced flavor which
compliments these types of foods best. I have on occasion added some to
salads, but made sure beforehand that the flavor went well with the dressing
used. (ex: Mango Vinaigrette salad served with a Mexican meal)
Also, I add the cilantro onto the tops of foods after the cooking process,
or if into soups I add it into the broth just before serving. This keeps
the flavor, and the cilantro keeps its lovely lacy look.
Hope this helps,
Lynda
