Minty pesto with pistachio and scallion
SOME THINGS ARE JUST MINT TO BE
Some things are meant to be. Me discovering mint, scallion, and pistachio as core ingredients for pesto is one of those things. I love this pesto because the mint provides a bright flavor which cuts through the richness of the sauce. Pesto can be heavy, but this recipe is lighter and easier to digest. This pesto is also versatile. I use it as a condiment for pretty much everything including but not limited to, eggs, pasta, grain bowls, fish, roasted veggies etc. etc. I'm actually enjoying this pesto as I write this post, in fact. It's topping my delicious grain bowl with farro, white wine braised tomatoes, and garlic.
Enjoy!
