SESAME PESTO
I've been going through old magazines lately to clean out the garage and found this recipe in the May 1996 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. The recipes states that parsley can be substituted for half the amount of cilantro leaves. So, that is what I did. Try this pesto on fish, poultry, vegetables and freshly cooked pasta! The sesame seeds do not need to be toasted unless you want but I think it gives the nuts depth.

Steps:
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and subtley fragrant. Watch pan carefully because sesame seeds burn easily.
- Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, place sesame seeds in a blender or food processor and blend until coarsely ground, about 30 seconds total.
- Add the cilantro, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Blend mixture using the pulse button setting.
- With machine running, {{gradually}} add the olive oil in a steady, slow stream and process mixture until smooth.
- Store in covered container in refrigerator. Use up within 1 month. Bring to room temperature before serving.

TWICE-COOKED EGGPLANT WITH CILANTRO-SESAME PESTO
When people say that they don't like eggplant, I tell them they just haven't tried my eggplant. Eggplant chunks are first roasted for a lightly caramelized flavor, then finished in a wok with a myriad of Asian flavors. Dark purple globe eggplant works well here, but the narrow Japanese variety is my preference because it is sweeter.

Steps:
- 1. To roast the eggplant: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- 2. Toss the eggplant with the oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread on an 18-by-13-inch half-sheet pan. Roast, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely. (The eggplant can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 4 hours.)
- 3. To make the pesto: With the machine running, drop the garlic through the feed tube of a processor to mince it. Add the cilantro, lemon juice, sesame oil, and sesame seeds and process until pureed. With the machine running, pour the olive oil through the feed tube to make a smooth sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The pesto can be covered tightly and stored at room temperature for up
- to 4 hours.)
- 4. To make the mayonnaise: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside for up to 1 hour.
- 5. To finish the eggplant: Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl the wok to coat the sides. Add the eggplant and spread it out in a single layer. Let cook until the underside is seared, about 1 minute. Stir-fry until hot, about 1 minute more. Remove the wok from the heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the pesto, the pine nuts, the cilantro leaves, and the sesame seeds. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with the mayonnaise, and serve hot, with the remaining pesto passed on the side. (Leftover pesto is delicious stirred into plain steamed rice or used to flavor vinaigrette.)
