Category:	Category: Pesto

Ingredients:	Ingredients: ½ cup pine nuts 1 tsp salt grated peel of 2 lemons juice from 1-2 lemons (to taste) ½ tsp freshly ground pepper 3-4 cups fresh mint leaves 1 ½ cups olive oil (extra virgin is best) Optional: 1 seeded jalapeno pepper

Directions:	Directions: Put all in food processor, using only ½ cup oil. Pulse food processor to roughly chop, turn off and scrape down sides. Turn processor on and pour remaining oil in a steady stream while processor is running. (Can also be made in a blender). (This makes a smooth pesto, for a 'rougher' pesto add oil all at once and pulse a few times to blend. Can be frozen for future use: freeze in quart freezer bags (putting a half batch of pesto in each bag). Stack them flat on top of each other and freeze. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: 1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed, chopped tomato, mint pesto, additional mint leaves mixed in BJ's is a good source for pine nuts, the packages at the grocery store are very expensive and very small.
