Oregano Pesto

Filed under: Food and Drink — joy at 5:41 pm on Thursday, June 7, 2007

I made up some oregano pesto since my plant is going crazy. It was delicious! I thought the oregano would have too strong a flavor for pesto, but it works wonderfully. Here’s the recipe:

1 c fresh oregano
20 pistachio nuts (pine nuts, walnuts, and hazelnuts would all work too)
3 garlic cloves
pinch of salt
3 tbs Parmesan cheese
1 tbs romano cheese (I used swiss, actually)
2 tbs butter
olive oil

Grind salt, oregano, and nuts together in a food processor. Add olive oil until it forms a paste. Add everything else. Put on pasta. Enjoy!

I am mucho happy for your oregano plant proliferation…however I am sad as my oregano plants are not so happy. I think I might overwater them. I’m not sure. But when I do get more, I am very excited to try this pesto recipe of yours. It sounds delish! Also, if you are needing to give away any oregano, feel free to send some my way! PS: have you heard the way Jamie Oliver pronounces oregano with his yummy accent? “Or Ee Gah No”
