Jalapeno-Sesame Seed Salsa - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    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)
Preparation
    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.
