So good, I could just sit here and eat it with a spoon. We have a ton of Italian parsley in the garden, and a huge amount of basil that is just beginning to go to flower, so I filled a grocery bag with that bounty and made the pesto with 1/3 parsley and 2/3 basil. I toasted the pistachio kernels on the stove as you instructed, and they came out just right. Used a little extra garlic, and a couple of squeezes of fresh lemon juice (I know you didn't care for it, but I love lemon). It made a double batch, so I shared some with two friends. Everyone raved about it! Many thanks; this recipe is a keeper.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205639805681286189.post-44896125711138196412011-12-07T20:12:58.694-08:002011-12-07T20:12:58.694-08:00That looks delicious!

I love cooking with pistachios, the color and flavor is so unique. <br />I can remember cooking for my mother when she had cancer...toward the end of her life she really didn't want to eat much of anything, and I made her an apricot tart that she just devoured. It's one of my happiest memories of a difficult time.<br />Glad to have found your blog, I'll be back!Sue/the view from great islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366703419148959445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205639805681286189.post-82399687601864850112011-11-30T11:08:14.264-08:002011-11-30T11:08:14.264-08:00Thanks Alexis!
