Vegetarian Thai Green Curry
Recently coriander has been making headlines as a super spice for its many health benefits. Purchased fresh or in seed or powdered form, coriander is now highly regarded for its anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering properties. In Europe, coriander is used to prevent and treat diabetes; it has even been found to fight off salmonella! Eaten fresh, coriander is a good source of phytonutrients plus minerals such as iron, magnesium, and manganese. Make full use of this healthy spice in all its forms by cooking up some Thai food. My Vegetarian Thai Green Curry calls for both fresh and dried coriander. Or go the traditional route with my classic Thai Green Curry with Chicken, which makes equal use of this super healthy herb (photo by D. Schmidt).
