Fabulous Pesto Recipe

There are tons of different ways to make pesto, but here is a gluten free, nut free version from 2 of my favorite cookbook authors. It's a great one for when broccoli is in season. Sometimes I end up adding in extra olive oil and a little cooked spinach, but the basic recipe is as follows:










Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup cilantro
1/4 cup basil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
1 Steam Broccoli until tender.
2. Using a food processor combine all ingredients until it reached your desired smoothness.
3. Toss with hot pasta or store in air tight container for up to 48 hours.
