Pistachio Edamame Pesto




Makes about 2 cups

3/4 cup frozen edamame, shelled and soaked in hot water
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
2 cloves garlic
3/4 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup olive oil, plus a bit more
Zest of half a lemon
Juice of half a lemon
Salt & pepper

1. Combine all the ingredients except for the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor and blitz. You may need to run if for a while to get a smooth but a little chunky consistency.

2. Gradually add the oil. You may need a bit more to loosen it up.

3. Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.

Use with pasta, as a sauce for meats, or on some sliced toasted bread.
