FYI - In the UK, ' cilantro' is known as 'coriander'

Thank you very much Heathfield honey.

We have coriander here too, but it is the seeds of the cilantro plant. We call the plant/leaves, etc. cilantro.

BBWCHATT!!!

Just thanking you enormously for the 2nd recipe. I needed that one to serve with my blackened cajun tuna lol xxx

beryllium honey - I am glad you liked it!!! I had it in a Mexican restaurant years ago and decided to make it at home. I love it too - although I put in more onion and cilantro in mine because I like it better that way - and after it stays in the fridge overnight so the flavors blend it is even better!!! Even people who don't like black eyed peas like it :)
