What is this green pesto like stuff I got from a local Greek restaurant?!

Question: I thought it was pesto, but it is super spicy. I like it, but I can't really tell what it is since the hotness takes over. Any ideas? Its bright green, just like pesto.

Ok, all of you. Wasabi, from a Greek restaurant?

Chimichurri sauce at a Greek Restaurant?

And what are gorgonzola beans???? Gorgonzola is an Italian Cheese! (ok, I'm pretty sure that was a brain fart on the part of the writer...you surely meant garbanzos? but how would they make something green?)

I′m guessing it's actually called Greek Pesto, and may have included oregano or mint, both pretty common in Greek foods. Can you check at the restaurant itself? Just get the name, then search it on the net, for a recipe or check out some greek cookbooks.

Let us know. I'm pretty sure it's just called Greek Pesto. I know I've had or seen it before. Don't remember burning like that. They must have some secret ingredient. Report It
