Mint is a medicinal herb used in traditional medicine to treat abdominal pain and chest pain. Although many are used to adding it to hot tea, there is also a wide range of delicious and healthy recipes and drinks to prepare. Personally, I fell in love with this pesto sauce because of the aroma that permeates into the air as soon as I open the jar, which is why I chose to share this simple and wonderful recipe with you.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Serves: 1

Difficulty Level: Low

Mint and Basil Pesto

Ingredients for pesto:

Basil - 1 1/2 cups

Mint - 3/4 cup

Almonds - 1/4 cup (roasted)

Olive oil - 3 tbsp.

Lemon zest - 1 tbsp.

Lemon juice - 2 tbsp.

Garlic - 1 clove (cut into fours)

Salt - as needed

Method of preparing the pesto:

Lightly roast the almonds and allow them to cool down. Prepare the lemon zest and cut the garlic. Wash the herbs gently under cold water
Process all ingredients in a food processor. Turn it gradually until you get a uniform texture.

Chef's Tip:

Store your pesto in a glass jar in the fridge. It will last you about a week. You can also pour some into ice cube trays. It will last 4 months in the freezer.
