Jamaican Pesto

[Determinator]

this is inspired for my insatiable desire to fuse mint and
ginger. for some reason you don't see them together
much but they are great friends!

throw a whole bunch of fresh mint in the blender, add a
couple tablespoons of grated ginger, a crapload of fresh
garlic, salt & pepper and while that is blending add olive oil
until the desired consistency is achieved. Then taste and
add citrus juice until happy. Then add a sweetener if
desired. I have used maple syrup or agave nectar in the
past to great result. Bear in mind it won't taste right until
it's sat for a good half hour or better.

this is fabu on chicken, pork, even tofu!

Yerright, it isn't pesto, but who cares......it sounds good.
Dunno about tasted pine kernels, but I may try grinding a bit of nutmeg into the mix, or maybe a juniper berry. That'd create an interesting taste.
I'll try it next week.
Thanks Det.
