Garlic Cilantro Sauce

JEANETTE VARGAS, PEDRO’S WIFE, is a native of Wisconsin. They met in Seattle when Pedro was playing the conga and Jeanette was dancing. This garlic sauce recipe is her creation. I asked Pedro how the sauce came to be. “She likes garlic,” said Pedro. “A lot. She told me to put it in the blender. And so that’s what I did.”
