Description
Lemon Oregano Pesto is a great way to use fresh oregano you have growing. Love this on fish or chicken or even Italian subs! Simple to make this pesto beats basil any day!
Ingredients
Scale
1/4 c olive oil
2 chopped scallions
1 garlic clove, halved
1 T walnuts
1 1/2 t lemon juice
Zest of half a lemon
1/3 c grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 lightly packed cup of Italian parsley
1 lightly packed cup of fresh oregano leaves (Take the leaves off the stem by running your hand backward up the stem.)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Pinch of red chili flakes
Instructions
I made this pesto in a food processor and processed it until it was well combined and pesto-like!
Use a blender if you want and puree until smooth. If you like more oil feel free to drizzle more in.
Notes
- If you can’t find oregano, you could use cilantro, mint, or basil instead!
