6 servings
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil), drained
- ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, loosely packed
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup walnuts, raw or dry-roasted
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Instructions
- 1
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, walnuts, red pepper flakes, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 8–10 times until the mixture is coarsely chopped and no large pieces remain.

With the processor running, stream in the olive oil through the feed tube and process until the pesto reaches a thick, spreadable consistency — it should hold together but still have some texture, not be completely smooth. Scrape down the sides once midway through.
