Mint and Parsley Pesto
 |
| Looking at mint differently through pesto |
The vegetable seller at the
market corner is everyone’s favorite seller. Who else in Singapore sells ½ a kg
of mint leaves for less than a dollar? Had it not been for this generous man,
ordinary folks like us would not have survived the 4.9% inflation rate. Like
every auntie there, I picked up huge bunches of mint, parsley and greens to
show support for the most popular grocer in Bukit Batok.
The pesto gave such a kick
that my daughter declared that it should be
a regular at our dinner table. It
goes well with almost anything
especially with kebabs, tortilla chips and toast.
Ingredients :
1 cup of mint leaves
1 cup of parsley
1 handful of pine nuts
3 cloves of garlic
½ cup of extra virgin olive
oil
1 handful of grated parmesan
cheese.
Sea salt flakes, black pepper
Method :
In a food processor, pulse
mint leaves, parsley, pine nuts, garlic. Add oil and pulse to blend.
Stir in the cheese. Season to
taste with sea salt flakes and black pepper.
Wow! That sounds like a good deal... Which Bukit Batok market is that?
ReplyDeleteI tried pesto before and none of my family like it. Wasted all my pinenuts. Maybe with mint might taste different.

ReplyDeleteI like the mint idea and will have to try it when the mint is in season.
