What goes with Coriander Root?
Coriander roots are the pale underground part of Coriandrum sativum, with a firm fibrous centre and an earthy, citrus-green aroma. They are not equivalent to coriander seed or the delicate leaves: a small cleaned root can season a paste or broth without adding a large volume of leafy material.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Coriander Root?
Garlic, pepper, salty ferments and savoury meat liquids provide a foundation for coriander root’s green-earthy character. Sweetness works best as a counterweight within a savoury sauce. The root should be distributed finely or removed after infusion, so aromatic depth does not depend on the diner biting fibrous fragments.
