Description

Pistachio Pesto is a must do! It’s absolutely perfect for a sandwich, for a spread, in a salad, and so much more. 


Ingredients

  •   1 cup raw pistachios
  •   ½ cup olive oil
  •   3 cloves garlic, put through the press
  •   1 cup fresh basil
  •   1 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
  •   3 Tbsp lemon juice
  •   salt and pepper

Instructions

  1.   In the food processor and being sure to take your time, pulse a cup of raw pistachios until coarsely chopped.
  2.   Add the pressed garlic, basil and parsley. When all of that is mixed well, slowly add a half cup of olive oil until combined well.
  3.   Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and combine until well mixed. Depending on your desired consistency, add more olive oil 2 Tbsp at a time (I usually end up adding 4 Tbsp). Nirvana.
