   A full recipe of this sauce is enough for about 1 1/2
   pounds of cooked fish, seafood or firm cubed tofu.
   
   Place greens, pepper, tomato, cilantro, chiles and
   garlic in a blender or food processor and process
   until smoothly pureed. Set aside.
   
   Heat oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
   Add pureed mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for
   5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a
   boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until sauce
   is thick, 12 to 15 minutes.
   
   Makes about 2 cups.
