hey guys if you've ever spent time
pulling the individual leaves off of
cilantro like that then this video is
for you I used to do that all the time
too but then I spent some time down in
Mexico and just got in the habit of
using the stems and it's it'll make your
life much much simpler so let's say
you're starting with this this is about
15 sprigs of cilantro and the easiest
thing to do is to twist off the bottom
portion of these stems the thicker
portion of the stems and just discard
those and use everything that holds the
leaves up here something like these are
a little bit larger so I'm going to go
all the way up to around here something
like that just like that and you can get
rid of these and then to chop it up if
you have a huge bunch you can actually
kind of roll it together and then dice
from there down but since this is a
smaller Bunch I just go for it and dice
it up without using a lot of pressure
because otherwise you're just going to
disintegrate it so just let just light
chopping and that's really it don't
sweat it use the upper portion of stings
it's not going to affect the flavor too
much and it just makes things so much
easier to not pull the individual leaves
off
