Cilantro
Recipes
Peanut pork with shredded Brussels
A formula rather than a recipe. Ground meat, a vegetable shredded fine, a peanut sauce built in the empty half of the pan.
Cod that poaches in its own side dish
The fish never meets the pan. It settles into the chickpeas, the lid goes on, and eight minutes later it is done.
Tostadas waterproofed with cheese
Melt the cheese onto the tortilla before anything wet touches it. That layer is a gasket, and it is why these are still crisp at the last bite.
Roasted paneer and chickpeas under three sauces
Paneer goes in the oven, not the fryer, and comes out squeaky at the middle and brown at the corners.
Everyday cilantro sauce
The gentle green one. Everything on the plate gets brighter and nobody loses an eyebrow.
Pork bánh mì rice bowls
All the bánh mì furniture, none of the bread, and a pickle that takes ten minutes.
Achaar beef with curry-spiced rice
Sweet raisins in the rice, sour pickle in the beef, and a cool green sauce to referee.
Zhoug with a proper temper
The Yemeni green sauce that bites back. The cardamom is the tell.
