One of my clients will be on TV tomorrow morning, promoting her restaurant, in the local San Diego channel. She will be presenting a recipe, which she made me taste (I was the lab rat), and it was just delicious!
Here it is, if you guys like to cook

2 Bunches Fresh Cilantro, Washed,pat dry
1 Cup Oil Vegetable, Canola or Olive oil blend
1/8 Cup Pine Nuts Toasted optional
2 Cloves Garlic, Peeled & Mashed

Add Oil to the blender and Cilantro, Pine Nuts, Garlic and Cheese. Blend to Pureed texture. For Chunkier pesto add only half the Cheese to start and the other half for the last 10 seconds
