The cilantro in the garden is one herb that sometimes is hard to keep up with-it tends to bolt very quickly-here is a recipe for you to use up a good amount at one time.
Cilantro Pea Pesto
About 1 cup cilantro
about 3/4 cup peas (thawed if frozen) Hopefully you have fresh from your garden
1-2 cloves garlic depending on size of clove
about 1/4 cup feta cheese
about 1/4 cup nuts-I used almonds
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil to bring it to the consistency you want it
Combine all ingredients in a food processor-slowly add olive oil until pesto comes together to the consistency you like.
Last night I served this at room temp on some pasta-right before serving I drizzled another bit of olive oil and some additional salt and pepper. Great option for a side dish especially since you are getting peas involved with no one knowing!
Enjoy

Used the cilantro Pea Pesto on pork chops last night. Added a little extra olive oil to the pesto and slathered it on the chops which I just salt and peppered.
ReplyDeleteMan it created a great crust and kept the chops very moist!
Enjoy
