Mint-Pistachio Pesto
Jul 18th, 2012 by Em-i-lis
Summary: I love mint and pistachios and really, pesto is of the gods. I’m going to serve this with grilled steaks, tortillas and corn tonight! I also think it’d be fantastic with grilled peaches! Per reviews on Food52, this is also divine on lamb. Lastly, this is just so darn easy! Fantastic!
