CILANTRO PESTO

2 cups lightly packed, fresh cilantro, including tender stems
2 cloves garlic
4 oz grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly roasted
About 1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, adding extra oil as required to make a thin paste. Use with grilled or roasted chicken or other meats or seafood of choice.

Cilantro pesto is very intensely flavored. 'Diluted' with extra olive oil, however, it makes a great dressing for chicken, bean and pasta salads where a Tex-Mex flavor is sought.

Makes 1-1/2 cups



CILANTRO CHUTNEY

About 2 cups cilantro leaves
2-3 jalapeno peppers, seeds and pith removed
1-1/2" wide slice of ginger root, about the thickness of a quarter
3 Tbl fresh lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1 Tbl cumin powder
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Coarsely chop jalapenos. Peel and mince ginger root. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Process until chunky-smooth. Serve with grilled meats.

Makes 3/4 cup
