  1. In a food processor, pulse the garlic, ginger and cilantro to chop. Scrape the sides of the bowl and pulse a few more times, until the ingredients are blended in a rough and crumbly mixture. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add the pepper, coriander, lime juice and oil. Use a spoon to smash the blend the mixture until it comes together as a paste.
