DRIED FRUIT AND NUT SAUCE WITH CILANTRO
You don't see much cilantro in Europe, but you find it in the southeastern part of the continent, where several cultures mingle. Regardless of this sauce's origin (it is closely related to Tarator or Skordalia; recipe follows), it is fabulous with grilled meats, especially lamb. Walnut oil is not essential here, but it really does make a difference.

- Add some cayenne, taste and adjust seasoning, and serve or cover and refrigerate for up to a few days.
