Coriander
Both the leaves and the seeds are used in this plant but have very
dissimilar tastes. The seeds are used in the making of curry blends as well
as baked goods such as ginger bread. You might also find it in sausages...
The leaves, not stems, are used whole in soups, stews and many southwestern
and Mexican dishes as well as in the Orient, India and the Caribbean.

Coriander: Coriander is our biggest selling herb after Basil. It has a
unique flavour, and is ubiquitous in Asian recipes; however, try adding it
to some of your standard recipes for a bit of variety. I add a sprig to my
pumpkin soup. There are some stunning Coriander Pesto recipes out there -
Alex, Head Chef at the Liberty Resort next door, makes a great Pesto with
chillies and sesame oil.

Native to the Mediterranean and the Orient, coriander is related to the
parsley family. It's known for both its seeds (the dried, ripe fruit of the
plant) and for its dark green, lacy leaves (cilantro). Interestingly, the
flavors of the seeds and leaves bear absolutely no resemblance to each
other.

The coriander leaves are commonly known as cilantro or Chinese parsley. The
cilantro leaves have a lively, pungent odor and flavor that lend themselves
well to highly seasoned food. It is widely used in Asian, Caribbean and
Latin American cooking. Choose leaves with an even green color and no sign
of wilting. They are best when harvested young. This stage of plant growth
is the vegetative stage of the plant cycle.

Cilantro grows best in early summer or fall when soil temperatures are below
75 degrees. Growth at higher temperatures causes the plant to "bolt" or
develop a flower stalk. It is best to use the cilantro leaves before the
plant bolts.

After harvest, cut the stems and store the cilantro, stems down, in a
container of water and cover with a plastic bag, securing the bag to the
glass with a rubber band. Refrigerate. Change the water every two to three
days. Or cilantro may be stored for up to one week in a plastic bag. Before
using, wash the cilantro and pat dry with paper towels.

As the plant grows and develops, the second stage occurs, during which the
plant flowers and produces seeds. These seeds are called coriander. Whole
coriander seeds are used in pickling and for special drinks, such as mulled
wine.

The ground coriander seed is used in many baked goods (particularly
Scandinavian) and soups. The ground seed also is used in making curry
blends. Up to 20 spices, herbs and seeds are blended together to make curry
powder. Those most commonly used include: cardamom, chiles, cinnamon,
cloves, coriander, cumin, fennel seed, fenugreek, mace, nutmeg, red and
black pepper, poppy seeds, saffron, sesame seeds, tamarind and turmeric.
