Cilantro-Walnut Pesto

I'll confess that I like pesto better with basil and pinenuts -- but this version is heartier, and it feels fun to make just because you know you've created a variation : ) We can call this Winter Pesto!

Ingredients:
1 bunch cilantro, washed
4 cloves garlic
olive oil to moisten
parmesan to taste

As you can see, I haven't done much to help you with measurements -- it depends how big your bunch of cilantro is. I can encourage you, though, to use the stems of the cilantro, to not get carried away with garlic, and to be liberal with the olive oil.

I added mushrooms, was was nice with this pesto. Enjoy!
