FRESH CORIANDER SAUCE (SALSA DE CILANTRO)

Steps:

• Put peppers over a gas flame or heat over charcoal, turning often, until the outsides are burnt or charred, about 5 to 7 minutes. Dampen a cloth and wrap the peppers in it to cool.
• Remove peppers and peel. Discard stems, veins and seeds. Cut peppers into fine shreds.
• Meanwhile, pick the leaves from the sprigs of coriander. There should be about 1 1/2 cups of leaves, loosely packed.
• In the container of a food processor blend the coriander leaves, garlic cloves and water. Blend thoroughly.
• Heat butter and oil in a heavy skillet. Add onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add jalapeno and chili peppers and tomato and cook, stirring, about a minute.
• Add the coriander mixture. Add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.

CILANTRO SALSA

Steps:

• For a thicker sauce, chop cilantro and garlic and place in a blender. Puree with 1/4 cup water and the oil. Add lime juice, cayenne pepper, coriander and salt.
• For a thinner sauce, chop cilantro and garlic very finely. Then stir in 1/4 cup water, oil, lime juice, cayenne pepper, coriander and salt.
• The emulsified version can be served as a dip with pita bread. Serve the thinner version with fried halloumi or other fried cheese, vegetable fritters or with a salad.

CILANTRO-CHILI PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the stem end off of the chile peppers, and remove the seeds using a thin knife, otherwise leaving the peppers whole. Place the peppers into a skillet, and toast over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until the skins of the peppers have blackened and loosened, about 10 minutes. The peppers are ready when 1/4 of the skin has blackened. Remove the peppers, place into a small bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool and steam for about 15 minutes, then remove and discard the skins. Chop the peppers, and set aside.
• Heat the sesame oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes to soften, then increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the chopped peppers and salt. Cook and stir until the mixture is hot and sizzling, about 1 minute. Pour in the vinegar, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Scrape the mixture into a blender, and add the soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and green onion. Puree until smooth. Serve immediately.
