Get to know culantro, the herb that's more cilantro-y than cilantro.

is one of those herbs I'd always paused and wondered over in stores, but never taken the time to really investigate, much less buy and use. While it's widely employed in Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian cooking, it's not something I tend to find in my East Atlanta Kroger—it's more the province of a Buford Highway Farmers Market—and it's certainly not as ubiquitous here as the very similarly named, but not at all similar-looking, cilantro.

Enrique Awe, chef at the Running W Steakhouse & Restaurant in San Ignacio, Belize, uses culantro in beef and chicken soups, rice and beans, and stewed beans."It offers a very nice, herby, citrusy taste," he says."Also, the flavor blends very well with coconut milk." He recommends tearing or cutting the leaves before adding them to stews to release better flavor.

Thanks, I hate it.

Culantro does not give me the same taste as cilantro. I love when I can get it. Cilantro is nasty stuff.

‘They are hair on fire’: Biden admin mulling cyber attacks against Russian hackersThe Biden admin. is moving to treat ransomware attacks as a national security threat, using intelligence agencies to spy on foreign criminals and contemplating offensive cyber operations against hackers inside Russia, U.S. officials tell NBCNews. Took him long enough, maybe he shouldn’t have overturned the policies that were already elevating the threat of this stuff and devoting funding and resources to fighting it. Most of his day one executive orders have blown up in his face. Glad to see President Biden using intelligence agencies to spy on foreign criminals rather than German and French presidents.
