*Most grocery stores carry fresh cilantro year-round, and I like to keep it on hand at all times. You can use 1-2 tsp. dried cilantro in a pinch, but it's just not the same.
**Feel free to chop some onion in place of the dried minced onion. (I'd probably use half a fresh onion, chopped.) I was going for convenient. But not so convenient that I didn't take time to snip some fresh cilantro. Pick your battles, folks.
