½ teaspoon of chopped jalapeno or serrano pepper, seeds removed
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup virgin olive oil
In a food processor pulse cilantro, nuts, onion, chili pepper and salt until well blended. With processor running, slowly add olive oil. Stop the processor when all oil has been added. Serve with rice and refried beans or mix with pasta.
