Pesto
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Blend together basil leaves, nuts, garlic, and cheese in a food processor. Pour in oil slowly while still blending. Sprinkle in salt and pepper.
Tips:
Pesto is also great made with spinach or swiss chard.
I like to use 3 cups spinach and only 6 or so large leaves of fresh basil for a spinach pesto.
When I use swiss chard, I use 1 cup chard and 2 cups basil.
If you don't have walnuts you can use pine nuts instead.
Freeze pesto in snack size baggies placed into a quart sized freezer bag.
