| How To Cook: |

1. Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan and drop in the prunes. Remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes, then bring the water back to a boil over high heat.
|
2. Cook briskly uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the prunes are tender. Pour the contents of the pan into a sieve set over a small bowl and set the liquid aside.
|
3. With a small, sharp knife cut out and discard the prune pits and combine the prunes, garlic and coriander in an electric blender.
|
4. Pour in ¼ cup of the reserved prune liquid and blend at high speed, gradually adding the remaining prune liquid. The blended sauce should have the consistency of sour cream.
