53. okay -- I just got back from the grocery store
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 02:17 AM by Lisa
This is approximately how big their cilantro bunches are:




It will compact a bit if it's minced up really fine. I'm thinking -- half a bunch is something like a third to half-cup? I have cilantro in the back garden, so I'm trying to estimate the number of stems needed to make up that amount. 15 to 18, maybe? It does depend on how old the plant is (how long the stems are).

Personally I've always considered it a matter of taste -- my roommate would deliberately put less into the recipe when making guac or salsa for a party, in case visitors disliked that particular ingredient. She loved cilantro and would set aside a small bowl of it for herself, figuring she could always add extra to her portion.
