2 cups lightly packed, fresh cilantro, including tender stems
2 cloves garlic
4 oz grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly roasted
About 1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, adding extra oil as required to make a thin paste. Use with grilled or roasted chicken or other meats or seafood of choice.
Cilantro pesto is very intensely flavored. 'Diluted' with extra olive oil, however, it makes a great dressing for chicken, bean and pasta salads where a Tex-Mex flavor is sought.
Makes 1-1/2 cups
