11 Mar 31 Days of Global Flavors for National Nutrition Month: Day 11
It’s day 11 of National Nutrition Month and you’re in for a special treat! Today’s global flavor comes from the very talented Manuel Villacorta.
Cilantro
Every home in Peru has cilantro in its refrigerator. I grew up eating this herb so it goes beyond just the flavor. It’s soul food to me. One of my comfort foods is a beef stew made with cilantro sauce. I have used cilantro in all my cookbooks and I often hear positive comments from my readers and clients!
I incorporate cilantro into dressings and add it on top of his stir fry recipes, stews, and soups to enhance the flavors and to use less salt. Here is my recipe for Baked Yuca Fries with Cilantro Chimichurri.
