Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

2 garlic cloves, peeled

1 tablespoon pine nuts

1 cup fresh basil leaves

5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Place sea salt, garlic, and pine nuts in a large mortar and crush with pestle to make a smooth sauce. Add a small ammount of basil leaves and grind against sides of mortar until they break apart.

Repeat until all basil leaves are used up and the mixture has formed a coarse paste. Add olive oil and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy.

*Ingredients can also be placed in a food processor and combined that way.

This is great. I am overrun with basil at the moment, so I plan to make pesto this week. Do you know if it can be frozen?

This is great! I recently found a vegan parmesan substitute, that I might add when I try! Yum

In addition to a Vegan Cheese (Parmesan, etc) substitute, a wonderfully good alternative to cheese subs. for pesto recipes is Miso!! It makes for a very tasty Pesto Sauce.
Give it a whirl!!

Sharky - yes, Pesto may be frozen. Though, before sealing the container(and use smallish containers), place plastic wrap on the surface of the Pesto.

Cheers!
