From McGough's Recipes
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups packed fresh cilantro leaves (from 3 bunches)
- ¾ cup packed fresh parsley leaves
- ⅓ cup shredded Manchego cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted roasted pepitas
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
- Combine cilantro, parsley, Manchego, pepitas, lime juice, garlic and salt in a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped.
