A vibrant green paste made with just cilantro and vegetable oil, blended until smooth. This is a key Peruvian aromatic base for stews and rice dishes—bold, herbal, and ready to use. Get it silky now, and your pot will thank you later.
Wash the cilantro, remove very tough or yellow stems, and dry it well. You do not need leaves only: tender stems have flavor and help the paste go further.
Place the cilantro in the blender with half of the vegetable oil. Blend for 30 seconds, pushing it down only if needed, until the greens start moving evenly.
Add the remaining vegetable oil little by little and blend for 45 seconds more, until the paste is smooth, deeply green, and thick. Use it right away or store it tightly covered.
Turn what you find into an experience you can actually bring to your kitchen.
