I love cilantro, but I dislike removing the leaves from the stems...so tedious and time-consuming. I saw this tip I think on FB the other day and even tho I didn't have high hopes for this to actually work in real life - it does!!! It's genius, where was this idea when I started making my guacamole decades ago?! Game changer.
So you put the cilantro stems thru holes in a strainer, with the leaves facing in the bowl. Pull the ends of the stems and the leaves come off right into the strainer! Seriously. Genius.
The strainer I used has bigger holes so I found this trick worked best with larger cilantro stems and leaves. If they're too skinny they slid right thru the holes without taking the leaves off.
