Default Got cilantro?

Here's one dish you can make to use up the leftover cilantro before it rots.
And are there many smells worse than that of rotten cilantro?

CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND LIME

2 chicken cutlets
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 tablespooon minced garlic
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Dredge chicken in mixture of flour, oregano, and salt and pepper. Brown in
hot butter and oil until almost done through. Add tomatoes and garlic and
cook, stirring, another 5 minutes or so. Add lime juice and cilantro and
continue cooking to blend.

It's one of those love or hate foods, isn't it? For my part, I've never had
liver in my kitchen and brussels sprouts only once (as a birthday present
for DH).

I used to hate it too. I suspect it's an acquired taste and enjoy it now
(unlike mustard, which I try to like and still can't stand).

To each their own I guess.

Yep! Tastes like soap to me. I don't care for liver (I'd eat it if I were
starving) but I love brussels sprouts! LOL I'm sure your recipe will help
someone who loves cilantro.

Yes, it's one of those acquired tastes..... like heroin! It doesn't
appeal at first, but you want to give it another chance. The next
time you try it, you're ok to do it again.... the cycle continues
until there is no such thing as too much cilantro.

I guess I'm a cilantro addict now. My salsa can be green with
cilantro, but I still complain there isn't enough.

I like simple and quick recipes. I'd eliminate the flour... but it
has my attention anyway (I'm not now or ever "low carbing" - if I gave
a false impression).

Thanks for posting!

Whoa, hoss. I never didn't like cilantro; I didn't have to learn to
like it; I liked it right away. Does that make me an extraterrestrial?

Me too, sf. I love cilantro. I can never use it up fast enough, though.
It always goes black and slimey before I can eat the entire bunch of it.

Ugh. My first memory was when I was a kid, we lived in the
projects, and my mother brought home the groceries, including
what I remember as a whole bag of rotten potatoes. OMG, I can
still remember the horror of is as I was elected to take the bag
down the hall to the incinerator. SHUDDER

Most recently, just a few years ago, I had a fruit fly problem that
wouldn't quit. Man, where are these flies coming from? (I know,
all kinds of jokes are springing to mind as I speak) Finally found a
liquified pile of rotten potatoes hidden in the cabinet. Oh crap, the
stench was released upon moving the pultritude.

I only buy a few potatoes at a time, now, or a small bag that
doesn't get pushed to the back.

Ugh! That might top a bag of fish forgotten in the trunk, Jill?

Maybe not.

LOL! Wasn't my fault the stupid checker put that one package of (frozen)
fish in a tiny bag all by itself! It would have easily fit in with the
other seafood, or heck, even one of the bags of produce or frozen veggies.
And of course that little bag of fish got lost amidst the other non-grocery
stuff stashed in the trunk of the car. The stench is gone now, thank
goodness. Praise Lysol

If you're going to discard the shells and the trash collector isn't due for
a few days, bag and freeze them until trash day. Before I did this, when we
lived in the 'burbs and had once-a-week collection, we planned shrimp for
the night before the trash men came!

Better yet, collect them in the freezer until you have a batch and then make
a killer stock that will be a whole lot better than bottled clam juice.

I have heard a few other RFC-ers suggest that... might indeed be a good
idea. Made stock a few times - used the shells/heads right away, tho' -
and then froze the stock.

We sometimes use that "trassie" stuff - concentrated shrimp paste.
Extremely strong smelling(!) but a little goes a long way and it is good
in a lot of seafood dishes.

Potatoes can be a real problem south of the snow belt.
Roaches and other critters can come home in a bag of potatoes.

So where's a safe place to store them ?
Fridge ? causes mystery chemical changes.
Pantry ? a bad 'tater will turn to goo in a warm pantry.
No root cellar in modern condo's.
???

Sounds like you need a wine refrigerator for that job. It mimics a
cellar.

I believe you, Dora! My roommate at Penn State was from Baltimore. Her
sisters came to visit one weekend and brought a bushel of steamed crabs with
them to share with our group of friends in the dorm. A bunch of us managed
to plow through about half the bushel before giving up. The remaining crabs
sat in our dorm room overnight, and by morning were STINKY. Just one night
and P-U!! Took awhile for us to completely get the rotting crab smell out of
our room.

I do that when I cook with boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I trim 'em up
pretty well and freeze the trimmings (or prepare them the night before trash
pickup).

The "trimmings" from our chicken breasts don't need to go in the trash -
one of our felines just loves them Unfortunately, I have not been
able to talk him into eating the shrimp shells too

At the store. I'm not exaggerating by much. I try
not to buy too many potatoes, and to buy them from the
bin and not already bagged, so I can see if one isn't looking
too good.

We cook shrimp in their shells at my house. Son and I eat them shell
and all. He even eats the tail, but I draw the line at that.

Hi, Mary! I know what you are saying. Years ago, our next-door
neighbor in Baltimore brought home a bushel of *live* crabs. A couple
escaped from the basket and took up residence in a spare tire in the
trunk. Wow, one day he opened the trunk.......

Oysters have finished here on the Eastern Shore. Crab time will soon be
here again!

I'll throw in another vote for rotten potatoes, so far as
vegetable-based stinks go. I have a runner-up to take a possible
second-place in the veggie stinkathon though:
I sometimes toss a couple of ears of sweet-corn into my microwave oven,
to steam inside their husks for four or five minutes. The cooked corn
husks that end up in my garbage pail decay with astonishing speed
though, and can get pretty nasty.

Oh, yes! The produce department is where I "store" most of my fruits and
veggies, and I just pop in when I need something. Of course, I am just steps
away from my Shaw's!

When we lived on the east coast, we had a small vacation house an hour
away where we spent every summer weekend. We fished and shellfished often.

One Sunday night I took what I thought were all the perishables out of
the fridge, left its door open a few inches, then turned off the power.

The following Friday night we arrived in the driveway and I went to
unlock the door to the house, smelling a strange odor. It took all our
willpower to walk into the house because it smelled worse than anything
we'd ever experienced.

It wasn't hard to track down. We had left a plastic bag full of
littleneck clams in the open fridge for a week when house temperatures
were in the 90's. Oh. my. god.

We spent the night with neighbors and I spent the next month cleaning
the fridge, over and over, with every product known to man to try to get
rid of the odor. It took a very long time to make the house habitable
again and the odor haunted me for years.

As Willie said, "I feel your pain". It's ironic that something which
tastes wonderful when fresh is so appalling later.

Might I suggest the odor of a decomposing human corpse?
