Mint Pesto:Sicilian-Style Recipe

Recipe By Honest Cooking

Notes on this recipe-while I omitted cheese in this vegan version, you can add cheese if you prefer. If so, I recommend stirring in three tablespoons of parmesan to the sauce after pouring the minced contents from the food processor/blender into a bowl. If you are someone who doesn’t care for much heat in dishes, back off the crushed red pepper flakes to a half of a teaspoon. I added walnuts instead of almonds for a more earthy flavor, but you can certainly go the more traditional route and use almonds if you prefer. Adapted from cuisine at home magazine (aug 2012).
