How to Chop Cilantro
Chopped cilantro is a great way of adding a bright citrus taste to your cooking, it can also be used as a garnish for things like tacos and burritos.
To chop cilantro, pinch it together and lay it on a chopping board. Next, chop off the stems and reserve for another use. Chop up the remaining cilantro from end to end using a rocking motion with your knife. Keep chopping until it has the consistency you’re looking for.
