Pesto

While Basil pesto is the commonly known pesto, there are others to try. Anything green:
Spinach pesto, Mint,Cilantro pesto- my favorite! I use it in stuffed tomatoes.







And, it can be frozen!

Here is a recipe for Mint Pesto- great with lamb kebobs!


PESTO
1 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup (packed) fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 medium garlic clove, peeled
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup (or more) extra-virgin olive oil
Blend all ingredients together.
