Description
In this Basics by The BakerMama, I teach you how to wash cilantro properly so that it adds flavor, not grit, to your favorite Mexican and Southwest dishes.
Ingredients
- Bundle of fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Place the cilantro in a large bowl and fill the bowl with cold water until the cilantro is fully submerged in the water.
- Swish and shake the cilantro around in the water so the stems and leaves separate and release any dirt.
- Lift the bunch of cilantro from the water and empty the dirty water.
- Rinse the cilantro two to three more times until the water is clear of grit and grime.
- Let the cilantro air dry on a paper towel.
- Chop and store in a container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
