Rahk Pahk Che-Gratiem-Prik (Cilantro Pesto) Recipe - Cooking Index
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Whole white or black |
1 | Peppercorns | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Coarsely chopped fresh |
1 | Cilantro roots or leaves | |
1 | And stems | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Coarsely chopped garlic |
Using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, crush or grind the peppercorns to a fine powder.
Combine the pepper, cilantro roots and garlic; work the three ingredients into a fairly smooth paste in the mortar or in a small blender or food processor. If you use a blender or food processor, you may need to add a little vegetable oil or water to ease the grinding.
Make about 1/4 cup. For an industrial strength batch use 1 tbs peppercorns, 1/2 cup cilantro roots and 1/2 cup garlic.
To store the pesto for later use, put in a glass jar, pour a little oil onto the surface to cover it and seal tightly. It will keep nicely for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
