DRIED FRUIT AND NUT SAUCE WITH CILANTRO



Dried Fruit and Nut Sauce with Cilantro image

You don't see much cilantro in Europe, but you find it in the southeastern part of the continent, where several cultures mingle. Regardless of this sauce's origin (it is closely related to Tarator or Skordalia; recipe follows), it is fabulous with grilled meats, especially lamb. Walnut oil is not essential here, but it really does make a difference.

Yield makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup prunes or dried apricots
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup walnuts
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley or dill leaves
1/2 cup chopped scallion
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or vinegar
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup walnut oil, more or less, or extra virgin olive oil
Cayenne to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the prunes in a saucepan with 1/2 cup water and cook gently, covered, until softened, just 5 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine the prunes in a food processor with the garlic, walnuts, cilantro, parsley, scallion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Process for a few seconds, then begin adding the oil in a steady stream until you have created a thick sauce.
  • Add some cayenne, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve or cover and refrigerate for up to a few days.

Tips:

- To make a flavorful and vibrant sauce, use a variety of dried fruits and nuts. Some popular combinations include apricots, cranberries, raisins, walnuts, almonds, and pistachios. - For a sweeter sauce, use more dried fruits. For a more savory sauce, use more nuts. - If you don't have any cilantro on hand, you can use parsley or basil instead. - To make the sauce ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, bring it to room temperature or warm it gently over low heat. - Dried fruit and nut sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers, a marinade for grilled meats, or a dressing for salads. It's also a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and burritos.

Conclusion:

Dried fruit and nut sauce is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. With its sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors, it's sure to please everyone at your table.
