Small Batch Dill Pesto image

Dill pesto is one of my favorite ways to kick up the flavor on broiled or baked fish. It's also very good served over grilled or roasted veggies. I used a small bunch of dill.

Categories     Pesto Sauce

Time 10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon walnuts
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove garlic, peeled and quartered
⅛ teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Place dill fronds (a few stems are OK), walnuts, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into the bowl of a food processor. If you have a mini or small food processor, it will be large enough for this recipe.
  • Pulse until everything is minced well, scraping down the sides as necessary. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil, blending for a few seconds until smooth.
  • If not serving immediately, store the pesto in an airtight container and chill until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest brie: A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy texture and a mild, nutty flavor. Avoid brie that is too hard or has a strong odor.
  • Use good quality pesto: The pesto is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a pesto that is made with fresh herbs, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Toast the pine nuts: Toasting the pine nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: This appetizer is best served immediately after it is made. The brie will start to melt and the flavors will meld together as it sits.

Conclusion:

This pesto brie pine nut appetizer is an easy and delicious way to impress your guests. It's perfect for a party or a special occasion. The combination of creamy brie, flavorful pesto, and crunchy pine nuts is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for an appetizer that is both easy to make and delicious, give this one a try.
