Food 4 Thought

Wine is the traditional symbol of joy that is used on many festive occasions. The Jewish people are compared to wine in a number of places in scripture, and the metaphor is pretty accurate. Wine takes time to produce, but also has to go through quite a process. In order to make delicious wine or grape juice, the grape has to be crushed in order to bring out its true potential. And just as wine also improves with age, we want our lives to improve with age too! Understand more about the symbolism of wine.

Instructions

Rinse cilantro well. (I usually submerge the bunch of cilantro in a deep container filled with water. This allows any fine sand or other non-plant material to sink to the bottom.)
Drain off excess water
Weigh the cilantro and add half the weight of hot peppers to the cilantro. Stems should be removed and other types of hot peppers can be used depending on the level of heat desired.
Add a rounded tablespoon of garlic and about ½ teaspoon salt and stir until thoroughly mixed.
