1. Wash
Rinse your cilantro under cold water to get off any dirt or whatever else might on in that clump. Then pat it dry with a paper towel.
2. Cut
Hold the clump of cilantro in one hand and with your cutting hand, you want to take a large chef knife and slide it down on the stems taking off the leaves.
Once you have gotten the amount of cilantro that you need, go back in and pull out any thicker stem. The smaller ones are ok to keep.
Make a pile and simply rock your knife back and forth over the cilantro with one hand on the knife’s handle and one hand open over the top of the blade. Then pull it all back together into a pile again and repeat rocking your knife over the cilantro.
Continue to do this until it is as chopped as you would like it.
