Cilantro Pesto
I can not believe that it is raining. June and it is raining. I was looking at my photo's. Love the Ocean. I am so glad to live by the ocean. Morel Bay is wonderful.
I was at the Culinary Academy and Rod ordered in to much Cilantro and he has a case that is going bad so we have been making cilantro pesto. It is wonderful. So Cilantro Pesto here we come. I made 4 batches yesterday and since it is raining will make some more today. It freezes great. As I was eating it last night I decided that it is good on hot pasta with chicken and some vegetables. I am trying to decide what vegetables. I am thinking corn, broccoli . Also, I think it would be great as a cold pasta salad. I will post a picture of us making the pesto later today.
1 c. fresh cilantro leaves, tightly packed
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/4 c. pumpkin seeds ( can use walnuts or pine nuts.)
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 t. cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
I like to add 1/4 red pepper flakes
process cilantro, garlic, cheese, nuts and seasoning in a food processor., While blender is running, slowly add oil until blended,
