DIY - drying your herbs

I get so sick and tired of buying coriander leaves here and just when I'm about to use them, they are downright soggy! Bleaarrgghhh ... It cost about $2.50 a bunch here at the Farmer's market and Indonesians don't use coriander in their cooking so its not easily available . Grow them you say ? Of course I did but I'm still waiting! 

So here's a method to salvage your herbs before they self destruct 

Here's my self-destructing coriander leaves that I bought 3 days ago.

Snip of the leaves and lay them on a paper towel.

Pop them in your microwave oven for about 1-2 minutes depending on the wattage of your oven. 

Voila !! They are dried ! You can keep it whole or crumble it with your fingers for smaller herbs. Store in an airtight bottle or container for later use :-)
