Ingredients
Instructions
Start by zesting and juicing the lemon.
Gather a mixture of basil, mint leaves, and parsley, totaling approximately 2 cups. Create a mix to your liking. I liked to err on the side of more basil than mint but just adjust to your personal preference.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted pistachios, capers, and salt until you’ve created a rough paste.
Pour in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil into the blender and continue to blend until everything is well incorporated.
Blend the ingredients together until a thick paste-like consistency is achieved.
Add the lemon zest to the mixture and continue blending.
Check the thickness of the pesto. If it appears too thick to your liking, gradually add more olive oil and lemon juice to reach the desired consistency. Blend again until well incorporated.
Give the pesto one final blitz to ensure all the flavors are well combined and the texture is smooth.
