Cilantro Cream Sauce

"Our local television station here in Houston has a segment on Sundays that airs local restaurants and it's recipes. I have been waiting and waiting for this one! This Cilantro Cream Sauce is served over Chicken Enchiladas and they are to die for in my opinion. This cream sauce is absolutely evil :) It's a very very rich sauce and should be avoided by all dieters! I made this and poured it over some chicken enchiladas which came out great but now I'm thinking of a pasta dish and substituting the alfredo sauce with this one. The possiblities are endless with this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!"

  1. I too put it over some chicken enchiladas. Man it was fantastic. This was a very simple recipe to make. I can't wait until summer when all my fresh cilantro starts producing in my herb garden. This will be a great recipe to use it up. I'm always looking for new ways to use up my cilantro.
     
  2. This is so delicious! I used it as a cream sauce mixed with seafood stock for shrimp and clams over pasta. This is truly a keeper recipe. Thanks so much.
     
  3. I made this and used it over grilled mahi-mahi and it was superb!
     
  4. Just lovely.
     
  5. Delicious! I made enchiladas too, stuffed with chicken, diced green chilies,green onion and Muenster cheese. We all thought the sauce was fantastic! BUT...due to the high fat content, this will be a once-in-a-while treat. Thanks.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My name is Jeanette and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas! I came across this website one day while doing a search on the computer for a really good salisbury steak recipe (which came out great...thanks to recipe# 23811) Since then, I make it a daily routine to log into Recipezaar at least 2 or 3 times a day. I feel like I've viewed every recipe in here but to my amazement I always find myself printing a recipe that I must have overlooked. My Recipezaar collection of recipes has gotten so big that I had to make a special binder just to keep track of all the new recipes that I have printed out. I love trying out new recipes on my husband and to tell you the truth he doesn't mind at all...what a good husband! For a while there it felt like I was cooking the same thing over and over each week. Not anymore though...thanks to all of you and Recipezaar :)
