A fresh, herbaceous take on the classic basil pesto made with pistachios.
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley (it’s OK to have a few stems)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme (it’s not OK to have a few stems)
4 to 6 fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1/3 cup roasted, unsalted pistachios, shelled
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1. Put all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
2. With the food processor running, drizzle in the olive oil until incorporated and pesto is thick and spreadable.
