METHOD
-
1
Cook the kitchari according to the package instructions. Season with salt till all of the flavors pop.
-
2
First, submerge the minced shallots in the lime juice - set aside to macerate for at least 5 minutes. Make sure to zest the limes before you juice them, and set the lime zest aside till its time to incorporate it into the sauce.
-
3
Combine the chopped cilantro, cilantro stems, shredded coconut, the macerated shallot (and all of the lime juice), minced serrano and grated ginger. Add the olive oil, honey, lime zest, and a generous pinch of salt and mix till well incorporated.
-
4
You want the texture of the salsa to be spoonable and barely held together by the moisture, but it won’t be saucier than that.
-
5
Serve the kitchari topped with a generous spoonful of the salsa, a dollop of yogurt, fresh cilantro sprigs and a sprig of lime.
