Finally. It seems that warm weather has finally arrived! M and I went to the nursery today to get flowers and herbs for our garden. We ended up getting all kinds of yummy stuff such as rosemary, thai basil, lovage, parsley. We bought so much of it, that by the time we arrived back home the entire car was infused with all these different, highly aromatic lovely smells of summer.
You can probably imagine, that as soon as our flowers and herbs were planted, we immediately found ourselves in the kitchen experimenting. We finally agreed that this Moroccan inspired pesto is going to play a big role in a lot of dishes this summer. You will find that it is nice and light and quite refreshing compared to the traditional Italian style pesto you may know.

1/2 cup tightly packed basil
6 fresh mint leaves
