My father has been a grower since a very young age and something he grows yearly is cilantro. We use it in everything we can. It’s a staple in my mom’s kitchen, as it was on her mom’s and the same goes for my kitchen. Cilantro sauce is a great way to honor the flavor in another level and when adding heat it just kicks it out of the park.

What is that ingredient or sauce that you must have at all times? Maybe it is something that reminds you of your upbringings and brings a smile to your face. I can relate to that!
