Incredible Cilantro Yumminess

This is a recipe for cilantro fans, and most especially gardeners who find themselves with too much cilantro and a need to use it up quickly. I have found several variations of this over the years, but this is the one I made to go with the dinner I wrote about yesterday.  You can vary the ingredients to taste, and omit or add other things as you see fit. The staple things you need are lots of cilantro, lime or lemon juice, olive oil, toasted sesame oil, and salt.

Simple Cilantro Pesto
2 large bunches cilantro, washed and chopped

4 tablespoons fresh lime juice

3 green onions, chopped

2 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

a generous squirt Sriracha sauce

6 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons soy sauce

salt to taste

Puree all ingredients in food processor. Makes a medium-sized bowl of pesto. Delicious served over fish, rice, vegetables, etc.
