I made this as one of the dishes I prepared for the 32 members of our family. I quadrupled the batch and have half left for tomorrow's barbecue.  ;D   Just when I personally decided the cilantro was overpowering and I would cut it down next time, I had 3 people tell that's what they loved about it so much. Life is STRANGE! LOL!


I also used slivered almonds instead of chopped peanuts.
