Instructions: Karin van Dam (vandamk@prl.philips.co.uk) Indeed! I happened to make some yesterday. You dont really need a recipe for pesto, unless youre a pesto purist... My general recipe looks like this:

Lots of fresh green herbs: basil, cilantro (called coriander in the UK), or whatever you like

liquid: olive oil, but Ive also been known to add beer or wine

nuts: pine, cashew, walnut, sunflower or pumpkin seeds

flavourings: garlic, chiles (chipotles are the best IMHO)

optional cheese (I dont) Mix everything in the blender. I like to add the nuts last, so they keep some crunch.
