CILANTRO JALAPENO PESTO WITH LIME



Cilantro Jalapeno Pesto with Lime image

This is a spicy alternative to classic basil pesto. You can control the spiciness by using less jalapeno and by removing the seeds and white membrane of the pepper before adding it to the pesto. If you like the spice, just throw it all in!

HABANERO-CILANTRO PESTO



Habanero-Cilantro Pesto image

not set

Provided by BigOven Cooks

Categories     Main Dish

Time 10m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 Habanero chiles chopped
1/2 bn Cilantro
2 Garlic
2 oz Parmesan cheese
1 oz Pine nuts or other nuts of your choice
3 oz Olive oil more or less

Steps:

  • Chop the habs up. Put into blender or food processor with cilantro, garlic and cheese. Puree, slowly adding olive oil until emulsified. We used this to rub down a pork tenderloin before smoking it. Would also be great grilled or roasted, as this will not burn on the outside.
