Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ounces fresh coriander leaves -- most stems cut off, washed and dried
1 1/4 ounces sea salt

Place the coriander leaves in the bowl of a food processor and process -
starting and stopping the motor - to obtain a paste. Empty the mixture
into a nonreactive bowl, add the salt, and mix thoroughly. Pack into a
1-cup glass jar.

This will keep for 4 to 5 weeks in the refrigerator before it starts to
lose its flavor.

Makes 1 cup

AuthorNote: Fresh coriander (also known as cilantro) is essential to
Middle Eastern and North African dishes. Because it is sometimes difficult
to find - and very difficult to store - it is a good idea to keep a jar of
salted chopped leaves on hand. The flavor is slightly different but still
very good.

This will add an extra punch to any fresh or steamed vegetable salad, as
well as to chicken soup. It is an essential ingredient for Tunisian Carrot
Salad.
