Ingredients
  • -1/2 cup basil leaves, rinsed before using
  • -1 handful of pistachios,shelled before using (as the origin of this came out from my snacks, it could only be roasted, salted, in shell)
  • -1 clove garlic
  • -extra virgin olive oil, EVOO
  • -Parmigiano Reggiano or Parmesan cheese, to taste
  • -freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions
  1. 1.Combine basil, pistachios, garlic, cheese in handheld electronic chopper/blender, process to mix
  2. 2.While mixing, slowly add in EVOO till desired consistency (should have a grainy texture and less of a puree)
  3. 3.Season with cheese and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  4. 4.Serve over sauteed/grilled fish, or over pasta

Yummy. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks for sharing.


This was incredible** Thank You June


Yummm....pesto....


I love fresh pesto; I've tried it with pine nuts, walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews -- parlsey, mixed herbs -- but I never thought of pistachios, and they're my fav. DUH!! Thanks for waking me up, Tigerfish!


Devil frog likey!


I will love this on fish and maybe chicken, too? A great recipe! I'm so glad you posted here for all of us to share! Thank you!


I have just made pesto, and am going to freeze it. It is the basil, garlic, parmesan, pine nuts, e.v.oil recipe. Now I see later, it says to add the cheese and nuts at thawing. Does anyone kow if this is going to spoil it?


Only with the substitution of vegan Parmesan cheese would this belong in the vegan recipe group. Yes you can freeze small containers of leftover pesto with all ingredients intact - vegan or not - just stir up on thawing.
