Cilantro Salt-Preserving Cilantro

The cilantro in my garden was beginning to bolt and this Cilantro Salt was a good way to preserve some of it. Did you know the whole plant is edible? Root, stem, leaves, flowers and seeds, I did cut most of the stems away though.

 On-line recipe suggestions for using it: lime rice, salt crusted potatoes, and on corn on the cob.

Use it as you would regular salt, I'll most likely add it to soups and salsas.  

They say it will last for a year covered in the fridge-we'll see:@)

Chop it fine-I used a 3 cup food chopper, and then it's a simple ratio:

4 parts loosely packed cilantro to 1 part Kosher salt

Mix well and store tightly covered in the fridge.

 

Eat well and have a happy day:@)
