Coriander gives this stew an authentic Mexican flavor. Dress it up with your choice of the listed garnishes. CORIANDER: This powerful herb, also known as fresh coriander or Chinese parsley, is the parsley of cooking virtually everywhere outside Europe and North America. The seeds of this herb are mentioned in the Bible ('And the house of Israel called the name thereof manna and it was the coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.' Exodus, XVI, 31). Coriander's tart flavor is especially good with fresh chilis and curry. 0 0 0 26386 0 0 0 0 0 0 3354 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
