Cilantro is a staple in many cuisines, particularly in Caribbean and Latin American cooking. In the Caribbean, it's a key ingredient in sofrito, a flavorful base for stews, rice dishes, and beans. It's also used in marinades for meats and seafood, adding a bright, herbaceous note. In Latin American cuisine, cilantro is essential in salsas, guacamole, and tacos. It's also used to garnish soups, stews, and rice dishes, adding a fresh, vibrant flavor. In some African cuisines, cilantro might be used sparingly in salads or as a garnish, reflecting the diverse influences on the continent's culinary traditions. While less common in traditional Asian cuisine, it can be used in some Southeast Asian dishes. Use Gourmet Garden™ Lightly Dried Cilantro in everything from salsas and guacamole to soups, stews, and tacos. It's especially delicious added to rice dishes or sprinkled over grilled meats and fish. For a quick and easy cilantro-lime dressing, combine it with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Store in the refrigerator after opening to maintain its freshness and flavor. The convenient tube packaging makes it easy to squeeze out the perfect amount every time. This product is a must-have for anyone who loves the taste of fresh cilantro but doesn't always have the time or resources to buy and chop fresh bunches.
