How to Make Peanut Pesto
- Combine 2 cups fresh basil leaves and 1 cup fresh parsley leaves in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
- Add 1 cup roasted peanuts, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves garlic, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon to the food processor. Process until peanuts are finely chopped but not completely pureed.
- With the food processor running, slowly pour in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil through the feed tube until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the pesto to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
