 Herb Q & A: Coriander
Coriander is used widely in Asian, Oriental and Middle Eastern dishes. The leaves have a strong and earthy taste but lose their flavour quickly once cooked, so it is best to add it just before serving to maintain the maximum taste. Fresh coriander leaves go well with chicken and pork dishes, such as stir fries and they also make an attractive garnish for savoury dishes.
