Cilantro (aka Chinese parsley) is used in Asian and Hispanic cooking. It might be mistaken for regular parsley so pay attention when reaching among the bunches of herbs at the market. Add fresh, minced cilantro to your favorite brand of salsa before a party. We add it to chicken stew. Try chopping a handful to top off a salad, tuna sandwich, or a bowl of chili. Also, try it in a marinade for meat or poultry. Cilantro has a pungent flavor when compared with regular parsley. Did you know that cilantro is a member of the carrot family? Check it out here!

In most dishes, I prefer a hint of the cilantro flavor. Otherwise, wierd how Mexican and Thai food have similar characteristics---use of spices. Hmmm. I wonder if there is a connection somewhere.
