This looks like a winner - I happen to have some

cilantro nice and fresh from the grocer right now so I

can make some :-) I really hadn't thought of it -

cilantro pesto yes, cilantro and garlic oil, no.

 

I myself cook low fat, so don't tell my low fat group

this LOL However, I will only have a taste - but my

dh will LOVE it! Thanks Guru! Always wonderful

recipes!

 

Best love,

 

Pat

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 bunches cilantro -- washed, spun dry and leaves picked

1/2 cup packed spinach leaves

1 tablespoon sugar

2 cups grapeseed oil

Kosher salt to taste

 

Prepare an ice bath with a strainer.

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil, then salt the water until it tastes like sea

water.

Add the cilantro and spinach and blanch for 2 minutes until soft but still very

green.

Immediately, transfer to an ice bath and chill. Squeeze out all excess water and

transfer to a blender.

Add sugar and blend on high speed, adding the oil in a steady stream. Purée

should be green and smooth.

Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and check for flavor.

Store Cilantro Oil in an airtight jar.

 

Makes 2 cups (16 one-tablespoon servings)

Ming says: One of the best ways to keep a big dose of flavor on hand is to

infuse oil with your favorite herb or spice. Here I've infused oil with

cilantro, an herb that really qualifies as truly East West—it's just as

important to Latin American cooking as it is to Southeast Asian cooking. I cross

borders with it all the time.
