Lemon pistachio pest

I was not sure if the name would throw people off, as it is not overpowering with lemon, it is just the theme ;). This yummy pesto could be used with a whole grain, like farro, or any fish, seafood or chicken. Easy with a special tasty zing. No salt needed with the lemon juice and lemon zest (and if you must, you must…).

INGREDIENTS
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
1/3 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 cup vegetable broth, low salt
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2–3 cloves garlic, peeled
Freshly ground pepper to taste
​

PREPARATION
Place all of the ingredients in your blender or food processor. Blend for 2–3 minutes, scraping sides to be sure everyone is included ;). Makes about 1/2 cup, enough for 2–3 dishes.
