On our last trip to Costa Rica over lunch with a friend, the,waiter brought this over to the table as a topping for our steak and it was delicious. This is my version of what I tasted.
I love love love cilantro! I am always looking for new uses for it. I hate buying a bunch and have any to go to waste.
Here is a great "easy breezy" recipe for a pesto or aioli.
It is great on steaks, chicken, fish I also use it as my base to make my garlic cilantro dip (see recipe), you can even put it on a pasta and toss like a traditional pesto.
The ninja chopper product review coming soon) makes this a 5 min process! So healthy and flavorful.
Wash and cut the stems off the cilantro, put a bunch of cilantro in the food processor or you can chop by hand if you prefer, and add a few cloves of garlic as desired and 1/2 cup of olive oil and chop.
Chop to desired consistency. I like it a little chunky.
Put in a plastic storage container and this will last at least a good week.
Enjoy!

I must say I have been obsess with the green pesto ever since I was introduce to it. I never really tried to make it myself with your info I may just do it.
