  • 50 g mint leaves 2 oz
  • 100 g roasted pistachio, deshelled 3.5 oz
  • 150 g Romano cheese, grated 5 oz
  • 6 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 200 ml extra virgin olive oil, more to taste 6.7 oz
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the coriander, mint leaves, pistachios, cheese and garlic into a food processor. Give it a few pulses until your ingredients are chopped finely. 
  • Add the lemon juice and then slowly pour in the olive oil while your food processor is running at low speed.
  • Once the pesto is ready, give it a taste and stir in salt if needed.

Notes

Pour extra pesto in ice cube trays and place a piece of saren wrap over the top. Once they are frozen, remove and store the pesto cubes in a large Ziploc bag. Each frozen cube of pesto is one perfect serving.
