Cilantro Pesto
I have a devil of a time growing cilantro. My mid-south garden gets hot and humid in early summer, so this cool climate herb just doesn't stand a chance. But I love the flavor so I keep trying. Right now I'm growing a slow bolting variety called 'Delfino'. Needless to say I hope to have enough to use in a variety of dishes including this recipe for cilantro pesto.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 large cloves garlic

Notes
