Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • Knife to cut cilantro

Instructions

  • Remove any leaves and stems that have gone bad- sometimes there are none and sometimes there are a few. They will be brown or black in color.

  • Cut off the long stems. The stems are the parts that don’t have any leaves coming off of them. They are thicker and are typically ⅔ rds of the bunch.

  • Chop cilantro to desired consistency. Start at the top of the cilantro bunch and with a rocking motion chop the cilantro from top to bottom, then from side to side. Repeat until chopped to your desired consistency.
