INSTRUCTIONS
here are a couple of Pesto recipes from "The Vegetarian Grill." Cilantro pesto makes a delicious spread for grilled bruschetta or quesadillas-or try it on a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Also can be brushed on grilled cauliflower, zucchini, corn and tomatoes. It also can be spread on pizza or inside a tortilla. 1. Combine the cilantro, Parmesan, pine nuts, lime zest and garlic in a food processor with a steel blade. Process until well mixed. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and process to the desired consistency. 2. Let stand for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop. Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Posted to bbq-digest by heidi anderson <heidi125@mail.snet.net> on Sep 13, 1999, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
