I love using leftover fresh herbs to make pesto! This one has a little extra burst of flavor with the addition of white miso.

Instructions

Pesto

Step 1

Add all pesto ingredients to a food processor except for the oils. Pulse several times until ingredients are broken into smaller pieces.

Step 2

With the food processor running, drizzle in the optional chili oil and olive oil so it emulsifies with the other ingredients. Scrape the pesto down from the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula as needed. Add in more olive oil if needed to get the desired consistency.
