Some of my friends think cilantro tastes like soap, so they never eat it.


There are definitely differences in the way taste buds work. That, and I
think
my associating cilantro with mexican flavors is what grossed me out thinking
about it mixed with coconut milk.

But to each her own. I would not make it but I would certainly taste it.

It is a popular combination in Thai and Vietnamese recipes. The recipe
may call it Cilantro instead of Coriander.


Thank you, Becca. There lies the problem--I am one of those people
to whom Cilantro/Coriander tastes terrible. So I guess it is not the
combination--the thought of that spice alone is repulsive to me.



Possibly because you are also averse to the taste of semen...

Stick with me, kid, and in NO time you'll go from delicately nibbling
cilantro to GOBBLING it up in copious quantities...

Are you "game", cyberWAD...???

I have never had SE Asian food. Something to have out, before I even think
about trying to make it, for sure.

Thank you for all your comments. I meant corriander leaves in the
recipe. Will also try the recipes from Dave and Magic-elle.

Hi there.
I have come accross a great coriander recipe (in one of my herb garden
books) if anyone wants to give it a go.

Ingredients: 1 medium sized chopped onion, 2 handfulls of chicken
pieces, chopped bunch of coriander (the more the better), a can of
coconut milk, salt, pepper.

Stir fry all of the ingredients, onion first. When chicken cooked, use
with pasta or rice. It is delicious.
Have made it a few times now. Was just wondering if anyone else has
some coriander recipes besides salsa, as I have loads of corriander in
the garden.
TIA
Niki
