Add a couple of tablespoons each of minced cilantro, basil, and mint, and season with an olive oil and lemon juice vinaigrette. Make a garlicky green mayonnaise, a great spread for a tomato or grilled chicken sandwich. In a mortar or a mini food processor, grind a clove of garlic and a handful of cilantro leaves or a mix of cilantro and basil to a paste.
Stir in a few tablespoons good-quality mayonnaise and a dash of hot sauce. Stir up a refreshing yogurt sauce with chopped cilantro, minced onion or scallion, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with grilled vegetables. Cilantro frustrates many gardeners because they try to grow it in high summer, but this herb bolts at the first sign of heat.
The trick is to stop fighting the calendar and let the herb grow when it likes. In spring after the last frost, sow an entire packet of seeds in a patch in your garden, or set out several pots of purchased plants each pot should have numerous little plants. Keep the plants well irrigated and harvest leaves and stems as you want. As the plants start to flower, let them be. When the seeds have matured and turned brown, harvest some but not all of them.
After summer heat moderates, seedlings will sprout around the dried stalks. Harvest from these new plants all fall and leave them in the ground over winter. Scatter more seed elsewhere in the garden to keep yourself in cilantro as long as possible. Already a subscriber? Log in.
