Italian style sandwiches with basil pesto

Preparation:


Pesto
Put washed, dried basil and mint leaves into a high container. Add parmigiana, garlic, almonds, olive oil and a pinch of salt, then blend in a food processor. If the pesto gets too thick, you can add more olive oil to get your favourite texture. It's worth tasting this during preparation to add more salt or garlic, if necessary.
