Cilantro Pesto

Pesto.... ahhhhhh the beautiful combination of basil, cheese, nuts and olive oil..

I think it's fun to play with recipes and mix things up, swap out herbs, add things, replace others..

Cilantro, I love the stuff, and it's wonderful with all sorts of proteins.
This pesto would be great on skirt steak, shrimp, fish, chicken.. the possibilities are endless! ;)

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 bunch of cilantro (about a cup to a cup 1/4)
• 1 lime
• 2-3 scallions
• 1/4 cup toasted pecans
• 1 clove of garlic (chopped)
• 1 tbs vegetable oil
• 2 tbs olive oil
• salt and pepper

In a food processor combine the zest of 1 lime, chopped cilantro, scallions, toasted pecans (to toast the pecans, place them in a dry pan over medium heat until you can smell them, mixing often), garlic, veg oil, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

Voila!

It's that easy and it's so yummy!

Enjoy!
