SALSA DE CILANTRO - PEBRE
I was looking for a really good Pico de Gallo salsa. I came upon this fabulous Chilean version (Pebre) in the Moosewood cookbook. Apparently this is Chile's most popular side dish and is served with every meal. Awesome just with chips or with anything you'd serve with salsa.

Tips:
- For the best cilantro flavor, use fresh cilantro leaves that are bright green and have no signs of wilting.
- If you don't have access to fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but use only about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe, as dried cilantro has a more concentrated flavor.
- Pebre can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to store it in an airtight container to preserve its flavor.
- Pebre is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, empanadas, and grilled meats.
Conclusion:
Pebre is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that can add a burst of flavor to any dish. It is made with fresh cilantro, onion, and garlic, and can be customized to your liking by adding other ingredients such as chili peppers, tomatoes, or avocado. Pebre is a great way to use up leftover cilantro and is a perfect addition to your next Mexican or South American meal.
