Great on pasta and
vegetables.
2 cups loosely packed fresh mint leaves, well washed
and dried
1/2 clove garlic, crushed (optional)
1/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts, lightly toasted in a
dry skillet
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup canola or other neutral oil
Place the mint in a food processor or blender with
the garlic, nuts, lemon juice, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon
pepper. Add 1/4 cup oil and pulse a few times. With
the motor running, add additional oil to make a creamy
sauce, stopping the machine occasionally to scrape
down the sides if necessary. Use within a day. Makes
about one cup.
