Receta Homemade Pistachio Pesto

by Grumpy's Honeybunch

Packed full of flavor from basil, cilantro, and pistachios, this Homemade Pistachio Pesto is the perfect accompanyment for salads, sandwiches, and grilled chicken or fish! I love regular pesto made with basil, pine nuts and parmesan cheese. However, the pistachios and cilantro added to make this Pistachio Pesto brings pesto to a whole new level for me! I literally at some of this right off a spoon. I found the original recipe over at Saveur. While I followed their recipe to a T, I found that it was way too thick and causing my ninja processor to work too hard. Hence, I needed to make adjustments (which will be reflected in my recipe) This is so easy to make. Measure out all of your ingredients, put them in a food processor and voila! You have Pistachio Pesto! You can serve this by tossing it into hot pasta, over grilled chicken or fish, in a grilled cheese sandwich (yum!) in a wrap, or in any place you might use any condiment! The freshness of this pesto can’t be beat. What ways would you enjoy your pesto?
