As I was looking for organic vegetables in my favorite farmer's market, I noticed a large cluster of cilantro walking towards me. Nearly a foot wide and 8" tall, the cilantro had somehow sprouted arms and legs and was literally walking towards me. As it approached, a face appeared behind the large plant. It was my husband, he had picked out the plant for my herb garden and was bringing to the counter to buy for me. I was thrilled.
Cilantro is a wonderfully bright herb that goes well with so many dishes. My husband makes a wonderful turkey chili with cilantro. It's also great in salsa and adds a bright touch to many Mexican dishes. I use it regularly, so I was pleased to have such a large plant to start. Cilantro loves sunshine and water. I have plenty of both so I I hope to have good fortune with my new cilantro plant.
