I still cook many Mexican dishes and they taste a lot better with fresh cilantro. Therefor I bought some seeds last year. The plants grew big, they got flowers and the flowers turned into seeds. I tried to save and plant the seeds, but that didn't work. However, to my surprise a few weeks ago, cilantro starts popping up everywhere! So I guess the seeds did work, only I wasn't patient enough!
We lived in Mexico twice, once 2 years and later another 3 years, so I learned to cook some dishes by friends. Mostly with the cilantro it is red and green sauce in different variations for different dishes like chilaquiles and enchiladas. I also put it in the guacamole. @gaylewood
