Does anybody on the list have any recipes using huacatay?

For those that don't know, huacatay (Tagetes minuta) is an herb beloved in
Peru.  The one use I know of (among I have no idea how many others may
exist) is to puree it into condiments which are eaten with meals, akin to
Indian chutneys or the blenderized-type Mexican salsas.  I know chiles are
not necessarily incorporated into those huacatay condiments, and of course
I know huacatay _is_, but these two clues are insufficient for me to create
my own successful rendition.
