I mainly wanted the roots, but didn't want the leaves and stems to go to waste, hence the puree.

It takes a little patience because you have to stop to continually scrape down the sides to make sure you get a nice, uniform paste. Then I portioned it out into an ice cube tray, wrapped that with plastic wrap then froze the whole thing. Makes it very easy to grab a cube to use whenever and where ever!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16766537792847654183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-12069336251116698062009-02-02T18:17:00.000-08:002009-02-02T18:17:00.000-08:00can you tell me how to make your garlic and cilant...can you tell me how to make your garlic and cilantro paste, my husband is mexican and those are two staples in my cooking...<BR/><BR/>thanks<BR/>esperanzaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-22085112361513926182009-01-31T23:29:00.000-08:002009-01-31T23:29:00.000-08:00I love, love, love the cilantro-garlic-orange dres...I love, love, love the cilantro-garlic-orange dressing!
