Crisp salt cod and potato fritters with parsley and a squeeze of lemon
1 day·6 servings
cilantro
The fresh leaves of the coriander plant, citrusy and pungent with an unmistakable scent.
Cilantro is sold in many supermarkets in bunches or pots, and reliably in Turkish, Middle Eastern and Asian grocers, where bunches are usually larger and cheaper. Its aroma fades quickly with heat, so it is mostly added at the end or used raw.
Substitute:
Flat-leaf parsley adds freshness and colour but not the citrusy, faintly soapy scent that defines cilantro; where it carries the dish, as in Portuguese bread soups or clam dishes, there is no equivalent substitute.
