Dinner at the Dirkins

We had dinner tonight with our friends from prenatal yoga -- Jack's very first friend from the time he was six weeks along in utero.

They served a delicious grilled lamb with a cilantro-mint pesto.  I could have eaten the pesto with a spoon it was that good.  Here's the recipe:

Pesto:

• 1 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup (packed) fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 medium garlic clove, peeled
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
• 1/2 cup (or more) extra-virgin olive oil

Blend first 7 ingredients in processor to coarse puree. With machine running, gradually pour in 1/2 cup oil; puree until almost smooth. Transfer pesto to bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
