Mint-basil sauce for meat

Mint gives the sauce a refreshing taste and wonderful aroma. I prepared this sauce in the likeness of classic Italian pesto, only I replaced expensive pine nuts with more affordable peanuts. You need to add pieces of ice to the original sauce. But I decided to try cooking without it. And I liked it.
