It makes the difference between a good Spanish dish or an Authentic dish! Used as a staple seasoning paste in many many Latino dishes such as arroz con gandules (rice with green pigeon peas), habichuelas guisadas (stewed beans).
Ingredients:
2 large cubanelle peppers or 2 large green peppers
1/2 bunch cilantro
6 sprigs recao (stems and leaves, a type of stronger spanish cilantro, use more cilantro is u can not find this)
1 large onion
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon oregano
5 ajies dulces, a type green peppers (these are tiny quarter sized peppers, but hard to find, use 'em if you got 'em, but don't worry if y)
Directions:
1. Wash, seed, peel and coarsely chop everything.
2. Put in food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
3. Store in a glass jar (plastic will hold that strong cilantro scent forever!).
4. I freeze in an ice cube tray and store in a plastic bag until I need them. 1 cube works for 1 tbsp even though its a little more.
