Mint Pesto

This is a great variation on traditional Pesto and great if you have an overly active mint plant like mine! This goes as a sauce for Lemon Braised Chicken.  I got this recipe and the Lemon Braised Chicken recipe from a blog called The Kitchn, which I highly recommend!

Ingredients
4 cups packed mint leaves
 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper

Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped.



Store in the refrigerator with plastic wrap completely covering and touching the surface of the pesto to prevent oxidization. I made the mistake of just putting a glass jar over over a small bowl, and my mint pesto went all brown :(
