Jalapeño Pesto

This is a recipe from Bobby Flay. He served this on top of a grilled scallop that was on a chip with guacamole. We just serve it along side grilled meat - like steak! It is HOT!

ingredients

1 1/2 cups cilantro leaves
4 jalapenos, grilled and chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

directions

Combine cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, pine nuts, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Scrape into a bowl.

notes

When this recipe was made on Bobby Flay's t.v. show, he just added all of the ingredients to a food processor and blended. He did not slowly add the oil!
