Cilantro Pesto


If you're into a cilantro pesto, try this. Its from a book called Real
Thai.  I forget the author. This is my own variation on the recipe from
the book, so all measurements are approximate.

In a food processor, combine:

3-4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. pepper corns
A big handful of cilantro, including stems and some of the thick roots (scub
the roots well, or else its gritty)- about a cup, semi packed.
Process well.
I've also added a Hab or green hot chiles of any type for an additional
bite, whatever suits you. Also, a little olive oil helps it blend a little
better.

This is a great substitute for garlic in stir fry, or anything you use
sauteed garlic for.
