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 recipe calls for blanching the basil before adding the usual pesto ingredients It will keep several days refrigerated and can be frozen Cook time is cool time , Made this today and it’s very good! Used 2/3 cup xtra virg olive oil, 3 tbsp pine nuts, and grated some asiago instead of parmesan It’s oil predominant, however, so amount could be modified yet Didn’t use an ice bath but ran under cold water, nor did I do any chopping but placed leaves into blender as they were The blender knew what it had to do! 5 stars for flavour, ease of prep, clarity of recipe, (even though I didn’t follow meticulously!) Thanks, sugarpea!, This recipe calls for blanching the basil before adding the usual pesto ingredients It will keep several days refrigerated and can be frozen Cook time is cool time
