Steps:
- This is particularly good with shrimp skewers or short ribs, but it would be at home with any simple fish steak or fish fillet off the grill. I went with a straightforward white wine vinegar here, but you can fine tune this to your own taste by using sherry vinegar, lemon and/or lime juice, or balsamic vinegar.
- Pour the oil into a blender jar. Add the cilantro, parsley, almonds, and vinegar and blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the mixture is fairly smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. The pesto can be made up to a day in advance. Scrape into a storage container and press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent the pesto from turning dark. Refrigerate until ready to use. Bring the pesto to room temperature before serving.
CILANTRO AND TOASTED ALMOND PESTO
Instead of pine nuts, this pesto uses slivered almonds, that have been toasted, for extra flavor. The mixture is pureed with a modest amounto of extra-virgin Olive oil and cheese, such as Parrmigiano-Reggiano, to get the finest flavour, The sauce also is blended with a few tablespoons of fresh lime juice, which bump up the taste even more and enhances the freshness of the cilantro. The resulting sauce is lighter than most basil pestos and makes an excellent topping for fish, poultry, or flatbread. If you like, swirl a spoonful into your favorite soup as a flavor-boosting garnish. If you serve the pesto with pasta, thin it with a bit of the starchy pasta cooking water. This helps to stretch the pesto (while cutting fat and calories) and gives it more coating power.
