Water­cress Pesto with Pistachios

(serves?? depends what you use it for)

2 cups lightly packed water­cress
1/2 cup roasted pis­ta­chios, shelled
2 cloves gar­lic
1/4 cup grated parme­san
juice of 1/2 lemon
olive oil till runny: 1/2 cup? depends on your taste

This recipe descended from my ran­dom mind: if one green leaf (basil) and one nut (pine nut) make pesto, which means in Ital­ian only “paste,” why not mess around with it? Whizz all the ingre­di­ents in your food proces­sor. DONE.

We ate this tonight tossed with grilled scal­lops and spaghetti, nice. You try your own ideas. Driz­zled over toma­toes and moz­zarella, that sounds good. Or on a fil­let of sea bass, or brushed over toasted bread. Yum yum…
