Steps:
- In a food processor, combine mint and almonds; process until finely chopped.
- With motor running, gradually pour oil through the feed tube. Season with salt. Keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
MINT PESTO PASTA
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the manufacturer's instructions for al dente pasta.
- Meanwhile, put the mint leaves, pistachios and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. While still pulsing, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Remove the lid and use your hands to break up the wedge of pecorino into small chunks and add them to the food processor along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined but there are still small pieces of pecorino throughout the mixture. (You do not want to blend too much because it will cause the mint to brown.) Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the pesto to a large high-sided skillet. When the pasta is cooked to al dente, use a large slotted spoon to lift the pasta out of the pot and directly into the skillet. Stir to combine. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the excess water from the pasta has evaporated and some of the pecorino has started to melt, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and butter if using. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer to a large platter and garnish with the grated pecorino and whole mint leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- Submerge the mint in cold water and give it a good rinse. Drain the water, then pick off the leaves, discarding the woody stalks.
- Put the mint leaves in a food processor with the peanuts, parmesan, garlic, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Start the processor and slowly pour in the olive oil, blending until the pesto comes together but is still a bit chunky and not too smooth; this should only take 2 minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste.
- Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl, then spoon the pesto into a sterilised jar. Pour a little more olive oil over the top of the pesto to help preserve it. (Keep the jar in the fridge and top it up with fresh olive oil after use.)
- Serve the pesto with lamb or fish. From https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-favourite-recipes-breakfasts-lunches-ebook/dp/B019BQWV96 >In the Kitchen by Simmone Logue.
