I just saw a recipe for caramelized shallots on a website, that I am looking forwards to trying out soon. I shan't give out the recipe yet, as I haven't tried it out. Besides, it is someone else's recipe, and she has her own website, so that wouldn't be fair to her. |
Oh, they look just like little onions!
Funny how things differ between regions and countries.
We don't say cilantro at all here, it's just coriander. Fresh coriander / coriander leaves, otherwise just coriander if it's the dried, ground seeds. I like the idea of calling it cilantro as it eliminates any doubt. I bet it's caused a lot of confusion when Americans have come across a recipe from Australia (or England, I think)
