There is something to be said about homemade pesto. While in college this was the poor college student version of pesto ~ instead of basil, pine nuts, parmesan, olive oil, garlic.
Ingredients
- 2 cups, packed, of cilantro, large stems removed shopping list
- 1/2 cup blanched almonds (or walnuts or pecans) shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped and seeded serrano chile shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- In a food processor, pulse the cilantro, almonds, onion, chile, and salt until well blended. With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream.
- Add more oil as needed for your use.
- Makes about 1 cup

Almonds are making a great comeback thanks to recipes like this one, I love the twist from Basil.
