Mint Almond Pesto
Mint Almond Pesto
Ingredients
- 3-4 garlic cloves peeled
- 1 parsley large handful, roughly chopped
- 6 mint leaves handfuls, approx 2-3 bunches
- 1 cup almonds toasted
- 1 lemon large, zest & juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup parmesan freshly grated
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil adjust to desired consistency
Instructions
- Start by adding the garlic, parsley, mint, toasted almonds, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blitz until roughly combined.
- Add the parmesan, a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and half the olive oil. Blend again until smooth, then gradually add more olive oil while blending, until you reach your preferred texture, smooth and spreadable, but not runny.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
- Spoon into a jar or bowl and top with a little extra olive oil to keep it fresh. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week.
