Kim & Others- One sort-of substitute I've found for fresh cilantro (I haven't tried it yet) is made by Goya and comes in a jar like their sofrito. I almost had to use it once but a friend who lives in a more civilized town was able to bring me some fresh cilantro from the store there. It's actually made up from cilantro and maybe (?) a few other things. You can't miss it...it's green. I can't remember the name and don't have time to search the web...but I'm willing to bet it will do the trick for *some* recipes. Anyone used the stuff yet? -jag Healer of Bland Food
