Dill and cilantro pesto

2 servings

7 minutes

Dill and cilantro pesto is a fragrant and original variation of the classic sauce inspired by the freshness of greens. Unlike traditional Italian pesto, this recipe combines the spicy taste of cilantro with the tenderness of dill, creating a unique palette of aromas. The addition of pecans and Brazil nuts adds depth to the flavor, while Parmesan enriches the texture. Mustard oil and apple cider vinegar add a tangy note, making this pesto an ideal complement to meat dishes, pasta, or fresh bread. It is perfect for dressing salads and marinating fish. This sauce embodies experimentation and an author's approach to traditions, offering a sense of freshness and warmth from home cooking.
