1. Make the walnut-mint pesto: Put the garlic in a mini chopper. Process until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides and add the mint leaves and lemon peel. Pulse to roughly chop. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the olive oil. Pulse to combine. With the food processor running, add the olive oil through the drip hole and process until mostly smooth. Reserve.
2. Turn on the Cuisinart
® Griddler®. Select Grill and set the temperature to 425°F.
