Coriander seed

Used in 7 recipes on RecipeWiki.

Coriander seeds are the dried fruit of the coriander plant, and they taste nothing like its leaves: warm, citrusy and faintly floral, with a gentle nuttiness when toasted. They are a backbone of Garam Masala, are toasted for the Pho Bo broth, and go whole into the brine for Quick Salted Cucumbers and Quick Pickled Red Onions. In Borodinsky Rye Bread they are pressed onto the crust, where their crunch and scent define the loaf. Toast them in a dry pan for a minute or two, until fragrant, before crushing. Whole seeds keep their aroma far longer than ground.

Pho Bo

Charring the onion and ginger before they go near water is what makes the broth smell like pho rather than beef soup. Everything else is patience.
