A pesto with a little kick using a favorite snack I found at Trader Joe's -- Chili-Lime Cashews -- nummy! This pesto is great on pasta or with shrimp or fish. Brush on meat, chicken, or fish before grilling. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves |
1 cup fresh parsley leaves |
3 tablespoons lime juice |
1 cup chili-lime cashews |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 cup grated asiago cheese |
Directions:
1. Put the cilantro, parsley, lime juice, cashews, olive oil, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and grated cheese into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until mixture is smooth, 8 to 10 pulses. If mixture is too thick, add more olive oil; if too thin, add more cashews.
2. Pour into 4 one-cup freezer containers. Use one container within a few days; freeze the others for later.
