Fresh Mint Pesto Ingredients

  • 2 cups loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup almonds (toasted)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh Herb Pesto Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed torn basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tbsp oregano leaves
  • 1 tbsp rosemary leaves
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts (toasted)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Process: Add everything to your processor and whirl it around until it has a thick paste-like consistency. I like mine on the chunky side but you may like it smoother. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water.
  2. Pesto can be frozen in ice cube trays and added to other recipes long after herb growing season is over. Just fill ice cube trays, freeze, then pop into a plastic baggy to store in the freezer.

Greetings! Quick question that’s entirely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4.
I’m trying to find a template or plugin that
might be able to correct this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
With thanks!
