1/2 cup packed fresh Italian parsley

2 shallots

1 large clove garlic

2 teaspoons peeled and grated fresh gingerroot

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes (more if you

like it very spicy)

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

 

Have ready a bowl of ice water. In a small saucepan of

boiling water blanch cilantro and parsley 10 seconds

drain again in sieve. Chop shallots and garlic.

 

In a small nonstick skillet cook shallots, garlic,

gingerroot, cumin, and red pepper flakes in 1

tablespoon of the water and oil over moderately low

heat, stirring, until shallots are softened. In a

blender purée shallot mixture, herbs, remaining 1/4

and season with salt and pepper. Sauce may be made 1

day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to room

temperature before serving.

 

Just before serving, stir in lemon juice.
