Mint & Pistachio Pesto

by | Nov 8, 2015 | 0 comments

My herb garden has some herbs growing wildly while others not so much. I love my basil pesto's but sadly my basil is not thriving this time of year. Rather my mint is out of control so I decided to make a pesto with my fresh mint. It's delicious.

Yields1 ServingDifficultyBeginner
 4 cups of fresh mint leaves (remove stalks)
 3/4 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
 1 clove of garlic
 1 Tbsp lime juice
 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
 1/4 tsp of freshly ground Changing Habits Pepper
1

Place all ingredients into your thermomix or food processor, process until a coarse paste is formed.

2

Store in a glass jar in the fridge.

3

Enjoy this with fresh salads, with eggs for breakfast or mix with some homemade yoghurt for a beautiful dip.
