  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 8 oz pine nuts
  • 10-20 fresh garlic cloves
  • 500ml extra virgin olive oil

Thoroughly wash and dry greens. Stuff as many leaves into food processor as possible. Add 3-4 garlic cloves, 1/4 cup pine nuts, pour in some oil, start processor. Punch down any leaves that aren't pulled into the swirl. Add cream and more oil until mixture has consistency of molasses. Scoop mixture into a large bowl.
