Coriander-Know Your Herbs and Spices

Coriander is a popular herb used by many cultures. More about fresh coriander, better known as cilantro can be found here.
Ground coriander comes from the plant’s seeds. These seeds have a slight citrus taste with a touch of cumin. Coriander is a component in curry powder. As part of curry powder or alone, it is a popular spice staple in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine.
Whole coriander seeds work well in soups and pickled.

Here’s a recipe for Curried Chicken Burgers

adapted from Soni’s Foods

Curried Chicken Burger

Burger Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 Tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 Tablesoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 reaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • Salt-to taste
  • Oil or cooking spray

Mix together the burger ingredients and form into patties.
Preheat your grill or griddle to medium heat.
Lightly oil the grill grate and grill the burgers about 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Since I did this indoors in January, I seared the burgers and finished them off in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Lightly grill the buns if you desire.
Assemble the burger. I added lettuce and tomato then placed the burger!

Cindy's Recipes and Writings

As a professional cook, I love creating exciting new recipes on the job as well as at home. Assisting in teaching low-income families how to buy, store and prepare healthy food through Penn State’s alliance with Pennsylvania’s Supercupboard Program was very rewarding. During my 11 years with the Master Gardener program, I taught horticultural therapy to assisted living patients using healthful, fr
esh grown food as a focal point. . My hands-on programs and instruction helped hundreds of children and adults learn about where their food comes from and how important fresh food is for your body.
Currently I’m a cook at a college in Pennsylvania. We prepare everything we can from scratch, including our potato chips that tout the seasoning of the day!
Of course I write about food; it's in my blood!

  1. Spices are always an interesting topic. Maria (my Libaliano partner) and I always like to discuss herbs and spices. She, being Italian, uses mostly herbs for flavour. Me, being Lebanese, love to use spices. I particularly love coriander although it does not feature prominently in Lebanese cuisine.
    These curried chicken burgers are appetising will definitely try them this week.

    1. I love trying spices I’ve never had before. I’d love to try Fenugreek for example. I think you will like the chicken burgers, Claude. The recipe comes from Soni at sonisfoods.com.
