2 cloves garlic, peeled
4 oz. Parmesan cheese, about 1 c. grated
6 mild green chiles, or 2 (4 oz.) cans mild green chiles, drained
1/2 to 3/4 c. pine nuts
1/2 c. parsley or 1/4 c. fresh cilantro leaves
2 to 3 tbsp. safflower oil

Using a food processor fitted with a steel blade, start the motor and drop the garlic and cheese through the feed tube. Process until the cheese is finely grated. Remove the stem and seeds from the chiles and discard them. Add the chiles to the work bowl, along with the nuts, parsley or cilantro and oil. Process until the mixture is a smooth paste.
