Comments on: Move over basil: cilantro is the new pesto. http://www.talkoftomatoes.com/2007/05/01/move-over-basil-cilantro-is-the-new-pesto/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:50:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Charles http://www.talkoftomatoes.com/2007/05/01/move-over-basil-cilantro-is-the-new-pesto/comment-page-1/#comment-10540 Charles Thu, 06 Mar 2008 21:22:12 +0000 http://www.talkoftomatoes.com/2007/05/01/move-over-basil-cilantro-is-the-new-pesto/#comment-10540 We have a favorite place in San Antonio along the river not for from the Alamo called the Zuni Grill where we try to go twice a year to get our "Zuni Fix". They serve a vegatable omelet filled with spinach, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers, onions and topped with lots of cilantro sauce with pine nuts. They also serve this with a soft tortilla, diced potatos with ketsup on the side, and a salad of watermellon, cantalope, mellon and excellent coffee served outdoors (it is nearly always warm there). In our words, "to die for". I am trying to find their recipe. Hope this is it. We will be going there next month in April for Fiesta.

I plan to try a variation with some poblano pepper mixed in. I think it would be delicious spread on warm tortillas - corn or flour.

Can turn this such heavenly pizza into appetizers. Try it on pizza instead of tomato sauce. sprinkle with chicken, yellow peppers and red onions (mushrooms can be added, black olives as well).

Mishmash: thank you!!!! Kalyn: your are welcome, I love finding other great recipes to try. I often put pesto on top of halibut, then grill. I didn't even think about swapping it out for cilantro pesto! Great! Lisa: pecans, huh? Even sweeter... Erika: rice is a good vehicle for all kinds of sauces, eh? I don't make it often enough, but I should! Terry: with grilled salmon sounds awesome. Kirsten: awesome! If you make too much, freeze some for later! Brilynn: oooooh, yummy.
