This pesto is made from radish greens rather than the more traditional basil. The peppery leaves of radish plants offer a spiciness that will wow your tastebuds!
Remove woody stems and put in blender or food processor with remaining ingredients.
2 - 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup shredded Pecorino Romano cheese, small handful of fresh cilantro leaves, pinch sea salt
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Notes
Parmesan cheese is a good substitute for the Pecorino Romano if you don't have that on hand.
Serve this radish greens pesto over pasta, spread it on crackers, or slather it inside mozzarella grilled cheese sandwiches. It's a nice, flavorful addition to your favorite panini sandwich, too.
