Cilantro Pesto
- 1 whole Bunch Fresh Cilantro, Washed
- 2 cloves Garlic, Smashed And Peeled
- 1/3 cups Grated Cotija Cheese
- 1/2 cups Roasted, Salted, Shelled Pistachios
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Black Pepper
- 1/2 cups Light Olive Oil
- Tear or cut the stems off the bottom of the bunch of cilantro and throw the ends away. Throw the leafy tops into the bowl of a food processor. Don't worry about the stems at the top.
- Add the garlic, cheese, pistachios, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup of the olive oil into the bowl of the food processor. Turn it on and process, adding the extra 1/4 cup of olive oil as needed until you have a smooth pesto.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Cotija is like the Mexican version of Parmesan. If you can't find it, just substitute Parmesan.
