Perfect Blend recipe


Tequila and Lime-Marinated Chicken Skewers with Cilantro Sauce

By quickly blanching the cilantro leaves in salted, boiling water and shocking the leaves in iced water, you are preserving the bright green color from the chlorophyll contained in the herb. This technique is useful when making other herb and oil-based sauces.
