Ingredients
-
1 bunch fresh cilantro
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste
1/2 cup olive oil
Directions
In an electric food processor or blender, blend cilantro, garlic, vinegar, Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil, and blend the pesto. Add more olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.
Pour pesto in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until pesto begins to simmer.
You can serve this hot or chilled. This is equally good hot over pasta or as a fancy chilled dip at a get-together (Serve with room-temp Brie cheese and crackers for a wow impression!)
