If you don't like the flavour of Cilantro leave it out and use fresh chopped parsley instead. The sauce has a nice full bodied, well developed flavour. Cutting the peppers into strips (julienne) instead of dicing prevents all the vegetables from falling to the bottom of the bowl and makes for a nicer presentation. Cooking the sauce separate from the vegetables ensures that the veg is not over cooke
