2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped (seeding is optional)
2 bunches fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water (to help blend-add more if needed)
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds (brown or white)

Steps:

Place all ingredients *except* for the sesame seeds in blender or food processor. Blend using the PULSE setting until the mixture is smooth and to the consistency of pesto (if you want a "chunkier" texture-go for it).
Place in container, cover and chill.
Best prepared several hours in advance. Serve at room temperature.
Before serving, stir the sesame seeds into the salsa.
Yield is usually a scant 2 cups.
