1 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves and stems

1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves and stems

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Preheat grill to high.

Salsa Verde:

Place cilantro, parsley, oil, onion, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and process, tapping down leaves as necessary, until herbs are finely chopped and sauce looks creamy (about 3 minutes).
