2 cloves organic garlic (large size), peeled
-
2 cups cilantro, leaves tightly packed
-
1 cup basil, leaves tightly packed
-
Salt

1/2 cup vegetable broth

Directions
Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic cloves.
When chopped, stop the machine; scrape the sides of the bowl.
Add the cilantro, basil leaves and about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse the food processor to chop herbs. Scrape down the sides.
With machine running add the olive oil and broth, continue processing until you have a bright green puree.
Add the cheese, taste and season with more salt if needed. Makes a nice sauce for pasta or as a topping for grilled vegetables or soups.
