Cook's notes

I get organic shelled pistachios from Sun Organic

Instead of grating the zest off of a lemon, I get dried lemon peel in granulated form. It saves me a huge amount of time. You can get it at natural food stores or at Frontier Co-op

Ingredients

1 large garlic clove
2 c shelled unsalted pistachios
1 t heaping lemon zest
6 T fresh lemon juice
3 T olive oil
1/3 c + 1 T packed fresh mint leaves
