This delightful and healthful probiotic filled cream is a great addition to many recipes and can be used instead of sour cream which often has some unpleasant additives in it.  Crème fraiche is available in many grocery stores now but you can also make your own and Cultures for Health tells you how.

Cilantro has a minty zip

To make a delightful Cilantro Crème fraiche just add about a tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro and allow to meld together in the fridge for at least 3 hours.  It will taste even better if you give it a day or so.  Serve with spicy Texan and Mexican dishes like Chicken Tortilla Soup, Breakfast Tacos, Chicken Enchiladas with green mole sauce.  There are so many applications and it not only makes each meal more memorable but also healthier.  The probiotics aid digestion which is a bonus with meat dishes.

One of my favorite uses is with my dried ancho chili powder rubbed pork tenderloin in the place of a cilantro cream sauce.

Add a bit of chopped fresh cucumber and serve with your favorite spicy Indian recipes.
