A few days ago I mentioned that I was going to try out a recipe I had for Pesto (write-up here). Well I did and I’ve got to tell you this is some great stuff. The garlic I pulled has not yet had time to cure so I used what we had earlier purchased in the super market.
Pesto is some great stuff and simple to make. Get a few basil plants in the ground, if you live in an apartment you can clear off a window sill and raise them there. Plenty of time left in the season to get some cranking.
I used:
-2 cups basil
-2 cloves of garlic
-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
-1/4 cup pine nuts
-1/2 cup olive oil
-1/4 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of black pepper
If you’ve made some recently, and used a different recipe, let me know how it came out.
