Cilantro and coriander

Cilantro and coriander are fairly recent arrivals to the American kitchen. Coriander is the more familiar, used in gingerbread, cookies, yeast breads, sausages, stews, and chicken dishes. Try adding a dash of coriander to cooked beets for a zesty treat. When cooking with cilantro, add it at the very end, as overcooking will muddy the taste.
