Cilantro Pesto

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cilantro leaves (stems are OK, too), packed
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
Sea salt, pepper, and chile powder to taste

DIRECTIONS

Remove the roots from the cilantro, then clean the leaves and stems very well and pat dry. Roughly chop.

Add cilantro, garlic, and Parmesan cheese to a food processor and process until everything seems stuck to the sides and will not chop anymore. Add in the water and the oil and process again.

As the food processor is working, drop the sour cream in from above until you get the consistency you want. Add salt, pepper, and chile powder to taste.

Will keep in the fridge for several days.
