Pesto.

It makes the world go ’round

Okay, well, it makes MY world go ’round.

I didn’t stray too far from the norm on the ingredients so don’t panic.  I substituted half of the normal basil amount with mint and I exchanged pine nuts for pistachios.  Everything else is pretty much the same!

Since fresh California herbs can be found anytime and mostly anywhere, you can make this pesto year-round.  How fab is that?

I originally made this pesto to go with the luscious Lamb Asparagus Kebabs we made for Easter, but it was so darn good, I had to start putting it on everything…

Here are a few more ideas on how to use this amazing Pesto:

Use as a spread for your next sandwich

Mix in with your favorite pasta

Top a fresh cut tomato

Use as a dip for your french baguette

Add to the top of your morning eggs

So many more options…

How would you use it?

Here is the recipe for ya!
