Step 1

Wash the nasturtium leaves and shake them dry (they can be slightly wet). Toast the nuts (it intensifies their flavor and I love it) - put them in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds or so. Cook for 2-3 minutes - until they start to smell good. Then take them off the heat, or they will burn (fast!)

Step 2

Fill your food processor up 3/4 of the way, loosely, with leaves. Blend until they are chopped. Add more leaves, blend. Continue this until all of the leaves are blended up.

Step 3

Add in the pistachios and blend until finely chopped.

Step 4

Add in the cheese, red pepper and half the oil. Blend.

Step 5

Add more oil until it's the desired consistency. This will highly depend on how much nasturtium you used.

Step 6

Taste. Add salt, black pepper, more nuts or more cheese until you like how it tastes.
