Pesto with Pistachios

This year I have a bumper crop of basil. I made more pesto today using pistachios instead of pine nuts. It also has more basil and less cheese than others I have made. My freezer is full of pesto. This recipe comes Geoffrey Zakarian on The Kitchen

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/4 C shelled and toasted pistachios
• 1 C EVOO
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 C fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 C grated Parmesan

Instructions

1. Let’s make this real easy. Put all ingredients in your food processor. Pulse to chop and then put it on “ON†and stream in the EVOO.
2. I then put it into very small containers and freeze for future use.
