Cilantro Xerem is a traditional dish rooted in Portuguese cuisine, particularly popular in the Algarve region. It combines finely ground cornmeal with a rich blend of herbs, spices, and fresh cilantro, creating a hearty porridge-like consistency. Often cooked with shellfish, such as clams, or meat for added flavor, Cilantro Xerem offers a satisfying balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. The cornmeal base is gluten-free, making it an excellent option for those with gluten sensitivities. Cilantro, a defining ingredient, is packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, K, and C, and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. While nutritious, the dish's overall healthiness depends on preparation; excessive use of salt or fatty meats can increase sodium and saturated fat content. A lighter version with lean protein and minimal added fats makes Cilantro Xerem a flavorful and wholesome choice for any meal.
