    Coriander, also known as cilantro, is a versatile herb that features prominently in various cuisines around the world. Here are a few recipes where coriander shines as a star ingredient:

    1. Coriander Chutney: A popular condiment in Indian cuisine, this chutney is made with fresh coriander leaves, green chilies, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. It’s perfect for dipping or as a side with sandwiches and snacks.

    2. Cilantro Lime Rice: This is a refreshing side dish often served with Mexican meals. Cook rice and then mix in fresh chopped cilantro, lime juice, and zest for a burst of flavor.

    3. Cilantro Pesto: A twist on the traditional Italian pesto, this version uses fresh cilantro instead of basil, blended with garlic, nuts (like almonds or walnuts), olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. Perfect as a pasta sauce or a spread.

    4. Pho: This Vietnamese noodle soup features a aromatic broth, rice noodles, and various toppings, including a generous handful of fresh cilantro, which adds brightness to the dish.

    5. Coriander Chicken: A fragrant dish that marinated chicken in a mixture of fresh coriander, garlic, ginger, and spices before grilling or baking for a flavor-packed meal.

    6. Cilantro Salad: Combine fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a generous handful of cilantro dressed in a lime vinaigrette for a vibrant and refreshing salad.

    7. Coriander Roasted Vegetables: Toss your favorite root vegetables or seasonal veggies in olive oil, salt, and crushed coriander seeds before roasting them for a delightful side dish.
