did you use whole corriander or crushed. My favorite is when you take whole corriander and put in the fry pan so it pops. Yummy

i've tried portabella mushrooms and don't see what all the fuss is about.

Cindy, portabella mushrooms are the steak of the vegetable family.
They are more chewy than regular mushrooms and are very vrsatile in receipes. They are great in place of a hamburger, stuffed, chopped like hamburger, etc. etc. etc.
Thank you for your comment.
Have a super great day.
