This member of the carrot family is also referred to as Chinese Parsley and Coriander.  It is actually the leaves (and stems) of the Coriander plant. Cilantro has a very pungent odor and is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking.   The Cilantro leaves look a bit like flat Italian parsley and in fact are related.


You could probably substitute flat Italian parsley if you can't find cilantro.

I guess I was just looking in the wrong dictionary. Cilantro is spanish for coriander. Of course we have that over here too. I sometimes grow some in my herb garden.

Is that a standard word in English? Instead of coriander? I had never heard it before.

I also tought it was coriander in English but Fred told me they call it cilantro in the US. But cilantro is, indeed, a Spanish word.

Coriander is the ground seed of the cilantro plant

Ok had to change my vote.  I made Jack's chili last night for the football game.  Everyone who came over to watch absolutely loved it.  I made a double recipe and there's not one morsel left...it was really the best chili I had ever had.
