Recipe Summary Cilantro Chili-Lime Cashew Pesto
A pesto with a little kick using a favorite snack I found at Trader Joe's -- Chili-Lime Cashews -- nummy! This pesto is great on pasta or with shrimp or fish. Brush on meat, chicken, or fish before grilling.Ingredients | Jalapeno Limeade Trader Joe's2 cups fresh cilantro leaves1 cup fresh parsley leaves3 tablespoons lime juice1 cup chili-lime cashews½ cup olive oil1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon cayenne pepper½ cup grated Asiago cheeseDirectionsPut the cilantro, parsley, lime juice, cashews, olive oil, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and grated cheese into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until mixture is smooth, 8 to 10 pulses. If mixture is too thick, add more olive oil; if too thin, add more cashews.Pour into 4 one-cup freezer containers. Use one container within a few days; freeze the others for later.Use plain roasted cashews if you can't find chili-lime cashews.Serving suggestion: I put a dozen cooked shrimp, 2 cups cooked pasta, some frozen veggies and pesto in the microwave for 4 minutes until heated through.Info | Jalapeno Limeade Trader Joe'sprep:
