1 cup fresh cilantro*
1 hot green chili pepper, chopped

*This recipe is from Paul, obviously, via the little notebook of family recipes that Mom gave me a few years back. Mom included a note at the bottom that they usually double or triple the recipe -- because it's just that good. I would also include a note to be sure to rinse the cilantro THOROUGHLY. Cilantro tends to hold a lot of grit -- dirt, sand, whatever. Poor brother Nate made a huge batch of this for my birthday party one year and forgot to rinse the cilantro. Needless to say, we had most of it left by the end of the party. I refrigerated it anyway, though, and discovered a day or two later that most of the grit and sunk to the bottom of the container and so was able to eat the rest. Good for me, bad for the party guests. Rinse that cilantro. A lot.
