I (finally after 20 years of waiting) have a patio and one part is now allocated to growing herbs in pots.
I’ve harvested some mint and after reading an article about pesto (basically it can be made with whatever you have not just the traditional basil & pinenut combo) I made mint pesto. It will be used tonight stirred into pasta and peas. On Sunday I’m planning on roasting some lamb and serving the pesto alongside it.
It was super easy, and is full of flavour (from the dipped spoon test). I’ve got lots of basil so that will be next. Just wondering if anyone has made any other pesto? What did you use?
This recipe was -
Big punch of mint
40g nuts (chopped)
80ml olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Black pepper
Whiz in whizzer to form pesto!
