Pesto Summer Basil In Winter Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put basil, and Coarse salt/pepper into processor. Process.
  • Add toasted nuts, cheese, garlic, lemon rind. Process
  • Add desired amt. of EVOO to your liking for serving now, (more) or freezing for later (less). Process.
  • You can always add more oil/butter later for desired consistency.
  • Varies to your serving needs/ processor size.
  • Amounts I use: Basil,1 C packed , 1T Coarse /Whole Salt, a couple pepper grinds, 1/2 tsp. minced roasted garlic, 6-8 passes w/ the grater on the lemon rind, 1/4 C pine nuts, 1/4+ C cheese,1/3-1/2 EVOO. My amounts are based on the size of my processor. Also, the amount of oil is for freezing now purposes. Add more for serving now, or add butter and oil for serving. Same goes for when you thaw and serve later.
  • Feel free to experiment. I did.
  • Get ice cube trays @ dollar store to freeze in. Then put in freezer bags. You won't mess up your regular ice cube trays, and you can use them next year.

    Very nice except too salty for my taste. I would decrease it to 1 tsp. then add more as needed.

    Had to tuck this away because it's what my partner Roan does with his basil (freezing it in ice cube trays). Really clever idea. I can't wait for the spring thaw here so I can finally plant mine again and try this.
