Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c Firmly packed mint leaves
1 tb Chopped nuts
1/4 ts Salt
1 sm Clove garlic, minced
Olive oil
3 tb Grated Parmesan cheese

Toss the fresh mint leaves into a food processor or blender along with the
salt, garlic and nuts. (Pine nuts are good; walnuts are okay also.)

Start the food processor and then slowly add olive oil. Don't process too
long or add too much oil; aim for a consistency that can be spread with a
knife. When done processing, remove it to a dish and stir in the cheese.

This is great spread across the top of broiled salmon or halibut fillets.
You can also toss it with pasta as a simple side dish, or add broiled or
steamed slices of chicken, seafood, or vegetables to make a main dish.
