Pistachio Basil Pesto.
Pistachio pesto is a fun twist on the classic basil pesto! The rich, bright flavor of pistachios shines through with just a handful of other ingredients. Homemade pesto is so much better than store-bought and comes together in minutes!
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh basil leaves
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/3 cup raw pistachios, raw or roasted
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:In the bowl of a food processor, add the basil, garlic, and salt. Process until the ingredients are finely chopped, stopping to scrape down the bowl a few times as you go.
Add the pistachios and process until they are finely ground, again stopping to scrape down the bowl as you go. You can leave the nuts more coarsely ground if you prefer.
With the processor running, add the oil in a steady stream through the drip hole in the top of the processor. Process until the pesto is glossy and fairly smooth. Stop and scrape down the bowl once or twice.
Transfer the pesto to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer. When you're ready to use the pesto, stir in the parmesan cheese just before serving.
