Something I had a few times while growing up -at a neighbor's and at Avo's house. Where I grew up, half the neighbors were from the Azores, so it was good, good eating. It's not a recipe that needs exact measurements, but this is about how I do it :) Obviously don't make it if you don't like cilantro, but if you do...mmmmmmmmm :) For a vegetarian version, just use veggie broth. Whichever you use, make sure it's a good quality. The ingredients are so simple it needs to be a good quality broth. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil |
3 medium onions, finely chopped |
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
6 cups chicken broth (more or less depending on how thick you like it.) |
4 medium potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped |
salt and pepper |
1 pinch red pepper flakes |
1 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped |
squeezes lime juice |
Directions:
1. Saute onion and garlic slowly until tender.
2. Add the broth, potatoes.
3. Cook til the potatoes are tender about half an hour.
4. Add 3/4 cup of the cilantro.
5. Use an immersion blender or food processor (or etc - ) to puree.
6. Serve hot or cold, and add the remaining cilantro right before serving.
7. Stir in a squeeze of fresh lime right before serving, if desired.
