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.

Great minds and all that, Sharon - just this season, I learned about keeping the roots when I freeze cilantro!! I'm on my 2nd crop and 2 smaller pots are planted to keep us going with fresh as long as possible.

The marinade sounds like a keeper!

In other words, Sharon, you're telling us all to go pound salt?

Seriously: this does sound wonderful - especially for someone who loves cilantro. I do still have some fish sauce in the fridge, so I'll have to try this.

Thanks!

I have planted cilantro 3 times - nothing has come up! I guess it just something I can't grow. We're getting an Aerogarden for North Dakota - maybe I can grow some in that!
