INGREDIENTS

  • Main 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
    • 🧂 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

STEPS

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.
