-------- ------------ --------------------------------
     1/4           cup pine nuts
     1/2           cup extra virgin olive oil
     1/2         bunch cilantro -- large bunch, coarsely chopped, about 2 cups
     1/2         bunch chives -- medium bunch, coarsely chopped, about 1 Tablespoon
     1/4           cup fresh mint leaves -- packed
1         Tablespoon chopped jalapeno
1              small garlic clove -- peeled
1           teaspoon coarse sea salt -- scant
     1/2      teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3        Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice -- from 2 medium limes

To roast the pine nuts, heat a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Put
in the pine nuts and toast for a few minutes, tossing or stirring
frequently, until the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Let the pine
nuts cool before using.
Put the pine nuts, oil, cilantro, chives, mint, jalapeno, garlic, salt,
and pepper in a blender or the bowl of a food processor. Puree until
smooth. Cover and chill.
Just before you are ready to use the pesto, reblend it if it has separated
and whisk in the lime juice.

Makes about 1 cup (8 two-tablespoon servings)
Serve over a roasted beet and blood orange salad.
