For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade roasted red peppers. Simply roast red bell peppers under the broiler until the skin is blackened, then place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and use in the recipe. The cilantro pesto can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. Serve with a side of saffron rice or a crisp green salad to complete the meal.
