This is a pesto I found in researching Basque cookbooks and recipes. It is used to serve on top of soups and stews, and I also used it to make a wonderful pizza with shrimp. Very quick to whip up, it is hearty and nutty and adds a great dimension to vegetarian dishes.
1/3 cup shelled pistachios
1/3 cup walnuts
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Palmful fresh parsley
About 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Heat oven to 400F. Spread the walnuts on a rimmed jelly roll pan and toast in the oven for about 2-3 minutes, just until fragrant. Watch carefully so as not to allow walnuts to burn. Toss all ingredients except oil into a small food processor and process until will ground. add just enough oil to bring mixture together into a smooth creamy paste.
