Mananya Cooks: Cilantro Pesto

22 Sep
1 jalapeño

3 handful of unpeeled garlic cloves

1 bunch of cilantro

1 bunch of parsley

1 teaspoon of salt

Olive Oil

 

How about a spicy pesto inspired by Rick Bayless? Si si! So simple you can make it with your eyes closed. Yeah, not really. Roast the jalapeño and garlic on a grilling or cast iron pan for about 20 mins. Make sure to be attentive and turn them over as needed. In a blender, blend the roasted goodies with parsley and cilantro. Uh huh… make sure to peel the garlic! Add salt at the end. Scoop the cilantro pesto into a jar and top off with olive oil. Keeps for 2 weeks. Great on rice, pasta, or in dips!
