What might I do with THIS MUCH fresh organic locavore farmer's market coriander?

Most herbs freeze pretty well, though cilantro is fairly volatile and really best used fresh. If you want to freeze them whole, I recommend washing the leaves, shaking them dry (no need to be super thorough; you just don't want them too sodden), spreading them on a paper-lined baking sheet (either parchment paper or wax paper), and sticking them in your freezer overnight. The next day, peel them off the paper and stick them in a plastic bag. This works well with berries too.

Another option is to pack ice cube trays full of the whole leaves, cover them with water, and freeze them.
