Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------
2 cups packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts -- raw or toasted
1 large garlic clove -- chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
Place the cilantro, nuts, garlic, cheese, lime juice, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor and blend until a coarse mixture forms. With the machine running, gradually stream in the oil and blend until the pesto emulsifies.
Makes about 3/4 cups (12 one-tablespoon servings).
While cilantro looks similar to Italian parsley, the taste is quite different. Some call the flavor grassy and clean, while others say it's biting and tangy. However you describe it, it makes for a distinct and vivid pesto.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
1. Toss with grilled or sauteed [shell Favorites].
2. Toss with pasta, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and diced fresh red pepper.
3. Stir into rice or risotto with corn kernels and queso fresco or other Mexican cheese.
4. Use as a condiment for a grilled vegetable panini.
5. Add to a stacked salad with thick slices of tomatoes, avocado, and queso fresco. Garnish with a finely chopped red onion and/or chopped cilantro.
