Questions about Dried coriander leaf
How is dried coriander leaf different from coriander seed?
Dried coriander leaf is the dried herb, with a grassy, citrusy flavour; coriander seed is the dried fruit, with a warmer, more aromatic taste. They are not interchangeable in equal amounts: use leaf where a recipe calls for fresh coriander, and seed where it calls for ground or whole coriander.
When should you add dried coriander leaf to a dish?
Add it during cooking to soups, stews and sauces so it has time to soften and release its flavour. For a fresher herbal note, stir a little in just before serving.
How much dried coriander leaf should you use instead of fresh coriander?
Start with about one teaspoon of dried leaf for a small handful of fresh leaves, then taste before adding more. Drying makes herbs more concentrated, but dried coriander leaf has a softer, less bright flavour than fresh.
What dishes go well with dried coriander leaf?
It works well in lentil soup, bean dishes, curries, marinades and yoghurt sauces. Pair it with garlic, cumin, chilli, lemon or lime; add it to salsa only if you are happy to lose the fresh, leafy character.
Can you use dried coriander leaf in place of dried parsley?
Yes, in soups, sauces and savoury fillings, but expect a more citrusy, distinctive taste. Dried parsley is milder and more neutral, so use coriander leaf when its flavour suits the dish rather than as a direct flavour match.
How should you store dried coriander leaf?
Keep it in a tightly closed container in a cool, dark, dry cupboard, away from the cooker and steam. Crush a pinch between your fingers: if the aroma has faded, it is unlikely to add much flavour.
Does dried coriander leaf taste like fresh coriander?
Not quite: drying dulls its fresh, green aroma and leaves a softer, more muted flavour. It is handy for cooked dishes, but fresh leaves are the better choice when you want a bright garnish.
Is dried coriander leaf nutritious in the small amounts used for cooking?
A teaspoon is about 0.6 g and provides 0.1 g of fibre. It is listed as a source of iron, zinc, copper, fibre, vitamin A and vitamin C per 100 g, but a pinch contributes only a small amount.
