The Perfect Pesto
could not be easier and I find that I want to have it on hand to dip, top and slather on EVERYTHING! Give this a try and tag me when you do!
Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
- 1 spatula to scrap down sides
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw pistachios
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1-2 whole garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup fresh basil washed and de-stemmed
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Place pistachios in the food processor alone and pulse until they are chopped up to a rough crumble
- Add in the lemon, garlic, basil, parmesan, sea salt and give it a quick pulse.
- Add in your basil and pulse just a couple of times then slowly drizzle in your olive oil until you get the consistency you like. Usually 1/3 cup works for me because I like mine a little thicker as a spread, add more if you'd like!
- Scrape down the sides if you need to and mix to combine with a spatula.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week!
