I originally came up with this recipe after making Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts 1001 times in the cafe. I was bored with it and decided to gourmet it up a bit.. So I made Cranberry Pistachio Pine Nut Pesto to put on them. DELICIOUS! The pesto was sooooo good that I decided to incorporate it into other dishes. *Cranberry Pistachio Pine Nut Pesto would be incredible as a crostini appetizer, stuffed inside a chicken breast or wrapped into puff pastry with brie.. My mouth is already watering thinking about it. Ingredients:
1/4 cup pistachios |
1/4 cup pine nuts |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
3 roasted garlic cloves |
1/4 cup fresh parsley |
1 lemon, juice of |
1/2 cup olive oil |
salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Place the pistachios, pine nuts, cranberries, garlic, parsley and lemon juice into a food processor and process until very finely chopped. While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in olive oil.
2. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. The pesto should be slightly sweet and salty.
