What can I do with Corianda?!
I put in two whole punnets of corianda and none of it died. Now I have so much than I can use in salad.
Are there any other uses for corianda in quantity.. I mean.. can you have a corianda pie or sommat?
Answers: Ok .. so I got this garden growing out the front yard near the footpath with cabbages and spinach and corianda.. I expected it all to be stolen.. but it is still there. Now seems, I have to eat it... or my wife will tell me I'm an idiot. (I don't need the extra re-assurance but thanks for offering your thoughts in that respect)

I think you're talking about coriander, otherwise known as cilantro. You use it like an herb. Chop up a quarter cup and combine it with two chopped onions, two chopped tomatoes, a quarter cup of jalapenos or other peppers, 2 cloves of garlic(crushed), and the juice of one lime and voila you have pico de gallo aka salsa.
Put the rest in a plastic bag, freeze it and save it for other recipes. You use it much like we all use parsley...
It has kind of a grassy texture but the flavor brings out the best in many meat dishes.
Good luck
call your local food banks or church to see if they can use it to help feed the hungry.
you could but it'd be kinda strong. I've had it in ice cream and it's surprisingly tasty. custard, cake.... it's very versatile. also, if you like Indian cuisine, it's used a lot in that. hope this helps.
Here's a recipe from the internet, go to for instructions:

Drying cilantro/coriander isn't recommended because it loses most of its flavor.
Make cilantro-flavored vinegar as holiday gifts.
