Crunchy, delicate and spicy but not hot, eat these alone or add to rice pilaf, salad or vanilla ice cream.

Although it comes from the same plant, coriander (the seed) and cilantro (the leaf) are neither interchangeable nor even remotely similar in taste. The seeds, used here and primarily in pickling, have a slightly lemony sage flavor.
