i enjoy it whipped up with a good plain organic yogurt, a fresh garlic clove or two and sea salt. lovely dip or dressing - on anything! (this is a middle eastern concoction for dipping chunks of grilled lamb.)

my mother never used it in her cooking - but my grandmother grew cilantro outside her east facing kitchen window. it was right next to the mints and other herbs by the outdoor faucet. the scent wafting in through that kitchen window on a warm day...unforgettable.
