Cilantro Chipotle Pesto

Here is a recipe for one of the most delicious things ever... cilantro chipotle pesto
2 or 3 bunches of cilantro 1 or 2 chipotle peppers (smoked hot peppers) some olive oil 1 lime some goat cheese
First chop up the peppers, removing the seeds and the veins. Put them in a bowl of hot water to soak and put aside. Cut off the majority of the stems of the cilantro bunches and put the leaves (its ok to have some stems) into a food processor with the olive oil. Chop them up until they are finely chopped. Put this mixture into a bowl. Add 1 limes worth of juice. Drain the soaked peppers and stir them in. Take about 1 1/2 inches worth of goat cheese (off the cylinder that it usually comes as) and stir that in. Stir until the whole thing is throughly mixed (mash the cheese against the side of the bowl to get it to mix in).
Now you can put it on most anything. I like it on gnocchi with some sautéed zucchini and onions mixed in. You could also probably sauté up some mushrooms to stick in there too. Its also really good on fish. Enjoy!

ya... you can either use queso fresco or just leave it out. Queso fresco is soft Mexican cheese that is kinda crumbly and salty.

It won't effect the cilantro and chipotle tastes, but it will get rid of the goat cheese taste and the the creamy texture that comes from the lime juice emulsifying the cheese (I think thats what it does). Its not bad without cheese in it, just a little different... try it out and see how you like it. Personally I love goat cheese.

cool man... you could probably put some other type of cheese in it too.
