  1. Preheat the KUDU grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Add the pistachios, basil leaves, salt, pepper, and garlic clove in a food processor. Pulse until crumbly.
  3. Add the parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and juice and pulse until it becomes fine crumbs, uniform in shape.
  4. Drizzle in olive oil (2-4 tablespoons) while pulsing until the consistency is a thin paste. Taste and adjust seasoning, then set aside.
