BASIL PECAN PESTO



Basil Pecan Pesto image

I prefer the taste of pecans over the pine nuts usually called for in pesto recipes. I developed this recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes!

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1- to 2-inch florets (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cilantro Pesto, recipe follows
Cotija cheese and cilantro leaves, for serving
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lime zest and 3 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 to 2 limes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
2 cups packed cilantro leaves
1 cup roasted and unsalted cashews
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high.
  • Add the cauliflower, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the cauliflower. Transfer to a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until the cauliflower is charred in places and softened, about 10 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
  • Transfer the grilled cauliflower to the serving bowl with the Cilantro Pesto and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with Cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
  • Add the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, pepper flakes and garlic to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until the garlic is finely chopped. Next, add the cilantro and blend until smooth. Add the cashews and Cotija cheese and pulse until the mixture becomes a thick paste and is evenly combined. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and set aside until the cauliflower is grilled.

CILANTRO PARSLEY PESTO



Cilantro Parsley Pesto image

There's a ton of recipes out there similar to this one, and I've tried many of them. This is my own adaptation using a combination of cilantro and parsley. Toasting the pine nuts is crucial for enhanced flavor. Make a day ahead to let the flavors intensify. This is an amazing condiment to grilled fish, seafood and chicken. It's also great as a sauce mixed in pasta.
