Recipe - Chipolte Basil Pesto

Lots of fresh green herbs:
basil; cilantro (called
coriander in the uk); or
whatever you like
Liquid: olive oil; but i've
also been known to add beer
or wine
Nuts: pine; cashew, walnut,
sunflower or pumpkin seeds
Flavourings: garlic; chiles
(Chipotles are the best
IMHO)
Optional cheese (i don't)

Karin van Dam vandamk@prl.philips.co.uk Indeed! I happened to make some
yesterday. You don't really need a recipe for pesto, unless you're a pesto
purist... My general recipe looks like this:

Lots of fresh green herbs: basil, cilantro (called coriander in the UK), or
whatever you like

liquid: olive oil, but I've also been known to add beer or wine

nuts: pine, cashew, walnut, sunflower or pumpkin seeds

flavourings: garlic, chiles (chipotles are the best IMHO)

optional cheese (I don't) Mix everything in the blender. I like to add the
nuts last, so they keep some crunch.
