I'm out of pinto beans and don't have any citrus fruit or sugar (although the coriander already tastes like lemons, so I don't think I'd add citrus on top of it). Dag nabbit. I'm on a two month self dare to eat vegan. If I could just throw in a bit of smoked sausage, that'd clear it up...

Yeah, cilantro tastes like soap to me. A lot of vegetables do until I cook them. I had cooked carrots in pasta one time that had none of the soapy taste, so I'm hoping to figure out how they managed it. Does anyone know?

No, I just rinse them in water. It's not uncommon for people to complain that carrots taste soapy. It's the terpenoids in them, which apparently diminish with cooking, but I don't seem to be doing it right.

I've added a bit too much coriander to some pinto beans I'm cooking. Is there another seasoning I can add to balance it out? I tried cumin and chili powder and they work alright, but it's still a bit strong.

Is there a way to get rid of the soapy taste of carrots? I've had some cooked carrots before that tasted perfect, but every time I cook them, they end up soapy anyway (and ruin whatever I've cooked them in). Should I boil them by themselves, then drain the water?
