Pistachio Pesto (low histamine)

Pair this simple and delicious pesto with your favorite pasta or protein. I love adding it to shredded chicken or eggs.

 

INGREDIENTS

 

🌿2¾-3 c fresh basil

💚Juice of half lime 

🧂Sea salt, to taste

🧄2-3 garlic cloves (3 for that garlicky & spicy kick)

💚¼-⅓ c pistachios (depending on how thick you want it)

🏺½ c extra virgin olive oil + a drizzle

💜LOW HISTAMINE: ½ tsp lime juice is low histamine per mastcell360.com, so half of this pesto is what I have as a serving at one time.

 

MAKE IT

 

1. Blend all ingredients in food processor until desired consistency). If too dry, add another drizzle of olive oil.

 

**GF/DF/LOW HISTAMINE (I followed mastcell360 low histamine foods list very strictly initially, then added some foods from the SIGHI list as I began to tolerate more foods, all under the care of a dietitian. A low histamine diet is restrictive and not meant to be followed long-term, as nutrient deficiencies may develop).**

INGREDIENTES

 

🌿2¾-3 taza de albahaca fresca

💚Jugo de media lima

🧂Sal marina, al gusto

🧄2-3 dientes de ajo (3 para ese toque de ajo picante)

💚¼-⅓ taza de pistachos (dependiendo de qué tan espeso lo quieres)

🏺½ taza de aceite de oliva virgen extra + un chorrito

💜BAJA ISTAMINA: ½ cucharadita de jugo de lima es bajo en histamina según mastcell360.com, así que la mitad de este pesto es lo que tengo como una porción a la vez.

 

HAZLO

 

1. Mezcla todos los ingredientes en un procesador de alimentos hasta obtener la consistencia deseada. Si está demasiado seco, agrega otro chorrito de aceite de oliva.
