Ingredients

Method
  • 80 g pistachios, shelled and toasted
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 t parsley, chopped
  • 2 t basil, chopped
  • 3 cups spinach, cleaned and trimmed
  • 1 ½ cups olive oil
  1. Place all the ingredients except the olive oil in a blender. Blend for 2 minutes, then slowly start adding the olive oil in a steady stream, scraping down the sides of the blender as you go.
  2. When all the olive oil has been added, blend for a further 5 minutes. Season to taste and store in jars in the fridge.

Cook's note: This is a great way to use spinach. The pesto will keep for up to two weeks in the fridge.
