Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the whole blanched almonds (75 g) to a small frying pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-4 minutes until golden and nutty. Cool on a plate, then grind finely in a food processor.

  2. 2

    Add the fresh mint (84 g), fresh parsley (28 g), and garlic cloves (2 clove) to the processor. Pulse until roughly chopped.

  3. 3

    Add the extra virgin olive oil (100 ml), lemon juice (1), and season with salt pepper (1 pinch). Blitz into a smooth paste, adding a splash of cold water if needed to loosen.

  4. 4

    Scoop the pesto into a bowl and press clingfilm onto the surface if not using immediately to prevent browning.
