This basil and pistachio pesto recipe is anything but traditional, and it's my absolute favorite. The secret to this pesto's unique flavor is the addition of two key ingredients: pistachio nuts and Pecorino romano cheese. This zesty, creamy, vibrant pesto can be used on anything from pasta to fresh bread and even lamb. Once you try this pesto, you might never go back to traditional pesto again! 💯 Follow this link to read and print the written recipe: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/Basil-and-Pistachio-Pesto/ #pesto #recipe #vincenzosplate =============================================== INGREDIENTS: Extra virgin olive oil EVOO. As much as required 1 garlic clove peeled 50 grams Pistachio nuts 1.7oz Large bunch Fresh basil 3 tbsp pecorino romano grated finely Salt As much as required METHOD: 1. Set up your blender and add a generous amount of EVOO to it. 2. Add a clove of garlic and blend together. 3. Add pistachios and blend thoroughly until you start to get a creamy consistency. 4. Wash the basil and pat it dry using kitchen paper or a tea towel. Add two handfuls of basil to the blender and chop it into the mix by using the pulse option (or turning it on and off in quick spurts. 5. Once the first round of basil is mostly mixed in, add 3 tablespoons of pecorino romano and a few pinches of salt, then the rest of the basil. 6. Continue to pulse until most of the basil is mixed. If any is left, add some more EVOO, push down the basil leaves using a spatula and blend again until it is thick and creamy. 7. Pour the pesto out of the blender into a bowl, and you have a beautiful bowl of green happiness. 8. Grab a fresh loaf of bread or a hot plate of pasta and go heavy on the pesto! HOW TO SERVE: To store the pesto, pour it into an air-tight container and put it in the fridge. It will ideally last two weeks, but you will most likely love it too much and finish it well before that. If you want to use it after two weeks, you might find a dark layer on the top of the pesto; just remove that part and simply use what’s underneath that dark layer. You can also help to keep it fresh by drizzling some EVOO on top after each use. =============================================== 📺SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (IT’S FREEEEEE ;-) http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcsSowAamCLJv-xeF9geXoA/join 🕴Here is the link to Buy my Merch (and the No Pineapple on Pizza T-shirt): https://www.vincenzosplatestore.com/ 📖Share it with your FOODIE friends on FACEBOOK 🍝Check out my website to get more recipes http://vincenzosplate.com/ 🌍Join my Small Group Private Italian Tour and discover the secret gems of Italy with me.
