Local Roots Farm has been selling fresh coriander, which fascinates me. It's basically bolted cilantro, or cilantro that has gone to seed, but the seeds aren't yet dry. I knew that cilantro was the leaf of the coriander plant whose seeds are used in Indian cooking, but I never tasted the connection between the leaf and the spice until I tried one of these seeds, which tasted a little like both. At last I understand.

Seth Caswell made them into a rub for albacore steaks at his Local Roots Farm dinner. Really yummy. I tried it at home but my seeds had already dried out. Looks like I'll have to hit up Siri & Jason on THursday!
