dsrtaoEliz looked out and announced that something would have to be done about the cilantro. I agreed to do something about it if she would harvest it. She did.
Easy, obvious step: pick out the woody stems. Wash.
Other easy, obvious thing: make salsa. Tomatoes, onions, cilantro, a few hot pickled peppers, a tiny bit of cumin, a half teaspoon or so of Worcestershire.
There was still a mountain of cilantro.
Our recipe wiki is searchable; Eliz searched for cilantro. She gave up. Too many choices.
I just picked the one which needed the most cilantro: chimmichurri sauce.
Into the food processor: cilantro, onion, a hot pickled pepper, olive oil, vinegar, salt. Whizzzzzzzzzz.... pretty good, but lacking a little something. A heap of toasted onion powder, whizzzz.... yum.
No more cilantro. Two big jars in the fridge, labelled. Enchiladas for dinner.
