Things you will need:
- 1 cup unsalted cashews (swap with pine nuts, almonds or walnuts)
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 1⁄3 cup of olive oil
- 4 cups basil leaves
- 1⁄3 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
- 3 chili peppers
The Process:
- Add the cashews, garlic, basil leaves, parmesan and chili in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
- While the food processor is running, slowly add the oil in a thin steady stream until well combined.
- Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor if you need to.
- Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Top with oil and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 week, or you can freeze it for up to 6 months.
- Toss with pasta, dollop over baked potatoes, meat or fish, or spread onto toasted bread.
Note
- Put a few basil clippings with about 10cm stems in a glass of water and place it in a bright spot in your kitchen. When the roots are about 2 inches long, you can plant them in pots.
- Pour or spoon your pesto into ice cube trays and freeze. Pop out the cubes and transfer them to freezer bags or containers. Each cube is approximately 1 tablespoon.
bon appetit
