Ingredients

  • 1 cup cilantro (or parsley we couldn’t find it today and using cilantro worked amazing)
  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup mixed unsalted nuts (mine had hazelnut, peanuts, walnuts, and almonds) lightly toasted in dry skillet for extra flavor
  • 4 pieces of garlic
  • Pepper, red pepper flakes if you like heat, teaspoon tyme, teaspoon oregano.

Directions:

In food processed blend garlic and mixed nuts,then add spices, blend, add in the cilantro and basil, blend and slowly drizzle in between 1/3-1/2 cup olive oil (I did 1/3 and then added water to reduce the oil) I also added the juice of a lemon for extra fresh flavor.
