Give pasta and meat dishes an extra boost by serving this fun and flavorful sauce. It is also a perfect sauce to serve with Caribbean Twice Fried Plantains. From Family Fun Magazine

1 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 cup fresh cilantro, tops with tender stems only coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup of cold water
salt and pepper

Directions

1
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion, scallions, garlic, oregano, and cumin. Sauté the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
2
Place the onion mixture in a blender or food processor with the cilantro and chicken broth and process until pureed.
3
Return the puree to the skillet, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until it comes to a boil.
4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to cook, stirring until the liquid returns to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
