I had to share this little thing I learned from a Moroccan years ago. Cilantro is my favorite fresh herb to use and I'm sure if you've ever used it you know it doesn't keep very long in the fridge. But if you're like me and you want it around all the time this trick may come in handy for you too. Get your fresh cilantro (works on other parsleys as well) and roughly chop it, including most of the stem. A lot of the fresh, green taste cilantro lovers love is in the stem. Put it in a blender with some oil and a little salt. Just enough oil, depending on the amount of the herb you have, to make it blend together like a pesto. Voila! "Fresh" cilantro anytime. Store it in the freezer and you're good to go anytime... As you can see above, I've been using it. Hope that helps someone.
