I love cilantro but this just doesn't cut it. I was reaching for the salt, pepper and ketchup in order to give these some flavor.

The cilantro didn't really make much of a difference, they were still very bland. Don't think I'll be making these again.

It tasted pretty ok. I use a lot of cilantro in my food, & so it came out as nothing special.
