Prep time: 10 min

Yield: 2 servings

Description

Fresh dill makes a wonderful pesto - this small batch recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

Ingredients

1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon walnuts
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove garlic, peeled and quartered
2/15 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1 Place dill fronds (a few stems are OK), walnuts, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into the bowl of a food processor. If you have a mini or small food processor, it will be large enough for this recipe.
2 Pulse until everything is minced well, scraping down the sides as necessary. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil, blending for a few seconds until smooth.
3 If not serving immediately, store the pesto in an airtight container and chill until ready to use.
