Description

This Italian inspired Pistachio, Hazelnut & Spinach Pesto is fresh, vibrant and super green. Pistachios and hazelnuts make a nice alternative to pine nuts, bringing a nutty flavour and texture.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups (90 g) fresh spinach leaves, washed
  • 2 cups (40 g) fresh basil
  • 3 tbsp. (18 g) whole pistachios
  • 3 tbsp. (18 g) whole hazelnuts
  • 1 clove of garlic (5 g)
  • ¼ tsp. salt (1 g)
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper (1 g)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. (32 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
  1. 1. In a food processor, add the spinach leaves, basil, pistachios, hazelnuts, garlic, salt, black pepper and lemon juice.

    2. Pulse several times, scraping down the sides with a spatula.

    3. Whilst the machine is running, slowly drizzle in the oil. This will make sure the oil combines well with the other ingredients and the pesto doesn’t split.

    4. Scrape down the sides again.

    5. To serve, stir through warm pasta, potatoes or gnocchi.
