Recipe: Cilantro Cream Sauce

I love making sauces and salsas. I make this Cilantro Cream Sauce for my green goddess veggies tacos. It's simple and subtle, but refreshing. It's also great on fish and chicken tacos.

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Cilantro (or more to taste)
3/4 Cup Mexican Creama (table cream)
Pinch of salt

Method:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and use an immersion blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

3 Cloves of Garlic (more or less if you like)
1 Tsp Dried Oregano
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

Salt to Taste
Chili Flakes to taste (Optional)

Cut tomatoes in half (or I just like to squash them when i add them to skillet, be warned of getting juiced!) Add tomatoes to large skillet with garlic sliced thinly with the olive oil. Sautee on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until tomatoes soften. Add Balsamic Vinegar and Sautee a few more minutes until vinegar starts to absorb into tomatoes. Add 1 cup of water, oregano, salt, chili flakes. Let reduce by half. Add one more cup water, let reduce by half again. Remove from heat and let cool. Put in blender. Puree into a sauce. Pour back into sauce pan. Put over pasta or veggies.
