As everyone's cilantro crop comes to the end of the season please take the time to pull it up by the roots and wash & save the roots it the freezer. Since I can't grow cilantro I buy it with the roots on whenever I can just so I can have this wonderful marinade.
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
5 to 6 large cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped (about 2tsp)
3 TBS coarsely chopped corriander roots
pinch of salt
1 tsp Thai fish sauce.
Place the peppercorns in a mortar with the garlic and pound to a paste. Add the corriander root and salt and pound to a paste.This will take 5 to 10 minutes. If you have a small blender or food processor you can use that instead. Stir in the fish sauce.
Store in a well sealed jar - 4 days, or freeze.
This is perfect on grilled chicken.
