Mix and match your favorite herb flavors and fragrances in this paste. We like mint with trout and lamb, basil on chicken and tuna, parsley for beef, cilantro with shrimp and salmon, and sage on cabrito, duck, and pork. Mint plus cilantro is good for sea bass or fresh sardines. Lamb and chicken take to a combination of mint, basil, parsley, and cilantro—if you believe, as we generally do, that more is more.
