What a fantastic dish! Talk about combining my favorite things...yum. I'll have to swap out parsley or basil, or even chives, for the cilantro. We are decidedly anti-cilantro in this house.

Wonderful recipe; thanks!

This looks amazingly good. I can't wait to try it out.

Okay, this is a lot better than I expected. The sauce could be used in many dishes. I think I will try this with fish. If you thinned it out, I sure it would compliment very well. Thanks Elise!

The flavors in this are amazing! I have also started using this herb/spice combination to perk up a recipe for a swiss chard and tomato cream pasta sauce - it has turned out to be a delicious solution to the problem of what to do with all my swiss chard.

You can aloso use regular large potatoes with this recipes as is traditionally done in the Colombian countryside. To spice it up, add saffron to the sauce. The sauce is called "Hogado" and it is incredible with eggs in the morning, or with your beans, tortillas, etc. It is a traditional seasoning for all sorts of dishes in Colombia.

These look amazing! I am definitely trying these out. What do you think these would go good with? I'm thinking about pairing this up with chicken breasts. Maybe even doubling up the sauce? What did you use this as a side dish to?
