Herbs de Provence Pesto

Foodblog (9 of 14)

Man-oh-man is this stuff good!!!! I could eat it by the spoonful. (Errr, maybe I did!!) Herbs de Provence is one of my favorite flavors, so I decided to pump up some pesto with it.

Foodblog (3 of 14)

I made a few more swaps to classic pesto and used roasted, salted almonds instead of pine nuts and an arugula and spinach blend in place of all the basil to save some money. The pecorino is key – it adds so much flavor!

Other than having to clean the food processor afterwards, this recipe couldn’t be easier.  Just process your first ingredients and then drizzle the oil in until it’s all combined.

There is so much bright flavor for spring, and you could put this on anything – sandwiches, eggs, salads, crackers.

    This looks epic! The roasted almonds is a fun change from the usual pine nuts : )

    One question, you say to use ‘4 tbsp’ of herbes de provence in this. That seems like a lot? Do you mean teaspoons? Just checking before I try this out myself!

    Can’t wait for the pasta salad recipe!

    I most always switch up the “usual” pesto recipe, mainly because I make so much of it when the basil starts coming in and pine nuts are nose bleed expensive 😉 I like to make it with salted cashews as well.
    Take care,
    Lori

    That looks delicious!!! I always forget that pesto doesn’t have to be basil/pine nuts. Question though: do the almonds make it taste very almond-y, or do they just give it that subtle nutty flavor that pine nuts do?

      It’s subtle – not too much like almond butter or anything

    That looks so good! Isn’t cleaning a food processor the most annoying process!? At least it makes something delicious : )

      I guess cleaning it RIGHT after makes it easier? Once it dries…grrrr. 🙂

    I love pesto–it’s so versatile! And since Herbs de Provence is another one of my favorites, this seems like a great combo.
