Instructions

Rinse cilantro well. (I usually submerge the bunch of cilantro in a deep container filled with water. This allows any fine sand or other non-plant material to sink to the bottom.)
Drain off excess water
Weigh the cilantro and add half the weight of hot peppers to the cilantro. Stems should be removed and other types of hot peppers can be used depending on the level of heat desired.
Add a rounded tablespoon of garlic and about ½ teaspoon salt and stir until thoroughly mixed.
