Basil Pesto

Features:
    Cuisine:

    used homegrown basil, lemon juice from a homegrown lemon, 2 large and 1 small garlic cloves, and toasted cashews and shaved Parmesan because those are what I had. My Vitamix made the pesto. I emptied it into 2 Oui jars, one-half full and the other three-quarters full. Absolutely fabulous and nicely garlicky! I made it 10 days ago, and it still tastes as good and is as bright a green as the day I made it. No need for keeping a layer of olive oil on top. I have used it on sandwiches, over sliced tomatoes and asparagus spears, and smeared on avocado halves. This is a definite keeper!

    Basil Pesto,This is a wonderful lemon-flavored pesto. This was my first taste of pesto and I’ve never gone back! Update as of 2/13/04 I’m glad that you all like this. I freeze this now and keep it on hand for my spaghetti sauce or others sauces. It freezes great!,used homegrown basil, lemon juice from a homegrown lemon, 2 large and 1 small garlic cloves, and toasted cashews and shaved Parmesan because those are what I had. My Vitamix made the pesto. I emptied it into 2 Oui jars, one-half full and the other three-quarters full. Absolutely fabulous and nicely garlicky!

I have used it on sandwiches, over sliced tomatoes and asparagus spears, and smeared on avocado halves. This is a definite keeper!,With the drop in the temperature, I knew it was time to clean out the garden. Had the dehydrator going all last weekend. With plenty of dried basil on hand, I decided to use up the last of the basil in a pesto. used a combination of pine nuts and pistachios and of course added extra garlic. Froze into cubes so I’ll have homemade pesto on hand whenever needed. I’ve been known to throw a few pesto cubes in with grilled chicken or shrimp and some pasta for a super quick meal!
