Just made my first batch of fresh pesto - yum :) |
|
Basil leaves Olive oil tsp of lemon juice for tang chopped garlic pinch of coarse salt.... and I added a couple of small Mescul leaves to give it a little kick.
Blend it in a food processor.
Oh man! :9
Please add your favorite pesto recipes to this thread. I have soooo much basil, I want to try them all!

1. I would use the same recipe as yours, but add grated |
|
parmesan cheese and pine nuts or walnuts. Yum indeed! Can't wait until my basil goes into overdrive.
