Good Recipies

Does anyone have any good recipies for preparing:

  • Asparagus
  • Anything using cilantro

Obviously coming from the small town south, not two of my staple food items although asparagus, like spinach, was one of those rare, "you better eat this, or else" meals during childhood. When it comes to erbs, cilantro was not part of the mix growing up. Celery, onions, pepper, bellpepper, garlic, wild onions,, etc but never cilantro.

Does anyone put cilantro in rice? (look, look,, i know how we traditionally cook rice in the South,, but just checking. went to a burrito bar and the rice had cilantro in it. that was some good stuff because cilantro has such a strong flavor.)

Have since had some great asparagus meals at restaraunts and of coarse cilantro is common in mexican (and India-Indian, Jamacan) food that I have had and would like some good home meals that are fairly easy to make,,, so i can make ajdustments to my liking!

Thanks :)

Asparagus Casserole

Here's one I got from a friend a few years back.

2 c Asparagus, fresh, 2" lengths
1 cn Cream of mushroom soup
4 oz Mushrooms, sliced
2 c Cheddar cheese, grated
1 cn French fried onion ring, 3oz

Butter a casserole dish. Put a layer of asparagus on
bottom then add soup. Next add mushrooms and half the
cheese. Add second layer of asparagus and end with a
layer of cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or
until bubbly. Sprinkle onion rings on top and return
to oven for 5 minutes more.

LOGGED. two other items: Dtown and SRedd

DTown,,, uuuuuh,, how did you get de avatar small enough to fit in there? (rhetorical question):D

SRedd: You watch Emeril Live? I just caught that show recently. Great, great cooking show. I can't figure where dude is from though; the east coast/NY or N.O. or none of the above? Interesting how dude got the live jazz band kickin' it going in and out of breaks. Good stuff.

Recipies logged! No cilantro yet doe huh? guess cilantro is like celery; you just use it where ever.
 
Yes I watch Emeril

He is from South Louisiana. Can't you tell. But, yes cilantro is an added flavor element. You can make it into a paste, mix it into salsa, any sauce, you simply use to add a different flavor, since it really has no texture, that can be distinguished.
