How to Make Mint Pesto Sandwiches

• Clean and wash the mint and coriander leaves.
• Pluck the leaves and discard the stems for the mint.
• Toast almonds in a pan for about 2 minutes (optional).
• Toss everything in a food processor and pulse it a couple of times to get a coarse mix, don't grind it into a paste.
• Do a taste test and season with salt and pepper.
• Use as a spread for pizza or sandwiches or for making pasta.
• For the sandwich:
• Spread a tsp or two of pesto on a slice of bread.
• Top it with a couple of slices of cucumber, tomato and cheese. Cover with another slice of bread.
• Heat a spoon of ghee or butter in a pan and toast the sandwich on both sides for half a minute each or till the bread turns golden.
• You can grill the sandwich instead of this stovetop method too.
