Chipolte Basil Pesto


Indeed! I happened to make some yesterday. You don't really need a recipe for
pesto, unless you're a pesto purist...

My general recipe looks like this:

Lots of fresh green herbs: basil, cilantro (called coriander in the UK), or
whatever you like

liquid: olive oil, but I've also been known to add beer or wine

nuts: pine, cashew, walnut, sunflower or pumpkin seeds

flavourings: garlic, chiles (chipotles are the best IMHO)

optional cheese (I don't)

mix everything in the blender. I like to add the nuts last, so they keep some
crunch
