This is a French recipe that I got from a German lady it really is quite special. The secret is the coriander (can also use cilantro or culantro- but what ever, use a lot of it!).

Description

Tie the bunches of cilantro or coriander leaves together with a string so that you can remove them later. Heat the olive oil and sauté the onion. Add garlic, cumin, paprika and sauté. Add the tomatoes, the tomato paste and the water. Season with salt and pepper and add the coriander or cilantro bunches. Simmer, covered for about 30 minutes. Remove the cilantro of coriander and puree with a blender or food processor. Return and stir in the cayenne and limejuice. When it is warm it is ready to serve.
