Any-Green Pesto

1. 1

   Put the garlic in the bowl of a blender or food processor and pulse a few times to chop.

2. 2

   Add the herbs, olive oil, nuts, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper.

3. 3

   Pulse and blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Add the cheese and blend just until incorporated.

5. 5

   Taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed; you can also thin the pesto by adding more olive oil.

6. 6

   Keep the pulses on the food processor to a minimum; overprocessing the pesto will heat up the mixture, leading to discoloration and muted flavors.

7. 7

   For a true taste of the Old World, try making the pesto by hand in a mortar and pestle, mashing and mixing everything until smooth.
