Cilantro Pesto
Easy to make + super way to enjoy this powerful herbal medicine in your 'everyday'
Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup nuts pine nuts, almonds, walnuts ~ your choice
- 2 cups Cilantro herb fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil good quality
- ½ cup Parmesan or Romano cheese optional
- Sea Salt and fresh cracked black pepper or other seasonings
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the garlic & nuts until coarsely chopped.
- Add the herbs and again, pulse herbs until chopped (about a minute)
- Add the oil slowly. Allow the oil to mix with all ingredients
Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
You may need to add more oil but I find that this amount usually works well.- Add ½ cup cheese (if using) and process to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
Note:
Sometimes, if I’m going to make a larger batch, with plans to freeze it (in ice cube trays for easy portions later), I’ll leave out the cheese. It’s easy to add fresh grated cheese later.
