Recipe By: Hot Sour Salty Sweet by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Dugid
Serving Size: 0
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Condiment - Low Cal (Less than 300 cals) - Lower Carbs - Seafood

2 teaspoons black peppercorns
5 large cloves garlic -- coarsely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) (5 to 6)
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped coriander roots -- (cilantro stems, without the leaves)
1 Pinch salt
1 teaspoon Thai fish sauce

Place the peppercorns in a mortar with the garlic and pound to a paste.

Add the coriander roots and salt and pound to a paste. This will take 5 to 10 minutes; if you have a small blender or other food grinder that can produce a smooth paste, use it instead.

Stir in the fish sauce.

Store in a well-sealed glass jar; this keeps for 4 days.

Notes: This recipe makes a small quantity of flavor paste, just over 2
tablespoons; double the quantities if you' like to make more.

Makes 2 to 3 Tablespoons paste

Here the essential flavors of the Thai repertoire all come together: black pepper (prik thai), coriander roots, and garlic, salted with a little Thai fish sauce. Use this paste as a marinade for [favorites]. Because the paste is so versatile, it's handy to have a stash of coriander roots in the freezer. Whenever you have a bunch of coriander, after you have used the leaves, chop off the roots, wash, and store them in a plastic bag in the freezer. You don't need to defrost them before using, as they can be chopped and pounded still frozen.
