Put cilantro into a blender a few bunches at a time
It will take a while to break down the cilantro but eventually all 6 bunches will fit Using a food processor will effect the texture and not in a good way
Gradually add all other ingredients except the oils
1 28 ounce can whole tomatoes drain and chop reserve liquid
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup red wine
1 tablespoon parsley
fresh basil leaves or 2 teaspoons dry basil
1 teaspoon sugar or to taste
salt pepper
Steps:
Saute onion
garlic and eggplant in oil for five minutes Add all other ingredients including reserved liquid from tomatoes and bring to a boil Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes
I always cover and cook this longer an hour or more until it tastes right to me as I dont care for raw tasting tomatoes When its almost done
I uncover and cook a little longer so it thickens a bit Again
1 2/3 cups green olives pitted and finely chopped I used the kind with pimentos
fresh lemon juice
Steps:
In a large skillet over medium high heat saute the garlic and onion in the 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until softened a few minutes
Add the both and cream and bring to a simmer
Remove from heat add the olives and let cool for a couple minutes Taste and add a bit of fresh lemon juice if you like as well as black pepper and/or red pepper flakes
You can keep this as is or for a more sauce like consistency feel free to blend/puree
