Method

- Toss the other half with hot cooked pasta.
Notes:
Pebre is a tangy Chilean condiment that makes a great marinade and an even better pasta sauce or chip dip. There are lots of variations out there, but this one is quick and simple, and accentuates the great flavors of cilantro and parsley. Note: The original recipe suggested marinating steak. This has been substituted with portobello mushrooms or seitan to make the recipe fully vegan.
