Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup slivered almonds
1 pound bright red cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino
1 baguette, cut crosswise into slices and lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Heat a dry, medium skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast, stirring often, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Combine the cooled almonds, tomatoes, basil, parsley, mint, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse, adding a little bit of the oil at a time, until everything is finely chopped and emulsified. Add the Parmesan and pulse to incorporate. Season with salt to taste.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with the toasted baguette slices. Any leftover pesto can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
