A Different Flavor Profile...of Pesto!

It's not the pesto you were expecting. Nisha Vora, who wrote the new cookbook Big Vegan Flavor, stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her Mint and Pistachio Pesto that's not necessarily Italian inspired, but comes more from the Middle East. That's because, Nisha says, mint and pistachio are flavors from that part of the world. It's matter of adding ingredients to a food processor, along with olive oil. Serve it with roasted vegetables for a wonderfully delicious dish. Nisha promises this pesto is thicker than the classic Italian type you might be used to, but that's a good thing!
