Cilantro Pesto I can't remember where this recipe
comes from -- or even if it's the one I really
like, but it looks close! But, since the Spicy
peanut Sauce recipe suggests using Cilantro Pesto
as a compliment, I felt I should post this as
well.

Ingredients:
2 cups
cilantro leaves washed and firmly packed
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
In a food processor, combine the cilantro, garlic pumpkin
seeds, lime juice, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. With
the motor running, slowly add olive oil until the sauce is
emulsified. The sauce may be prepared up to 2 days ahead,
covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature 1 hour
before serving.
Makes 1 cup.
