Walnut pesto and purple Basil

Description

Pesto is an Italian sauce of Basil, olive oil and cheese. You can experiment by adding different nuts or herbs.

Ingredients

Basil

2 coup
Walnuts

1.5 cup
Parmesan

100 g
Garlic

5 tooth
Olive oil

4 Tbsp
Lemon

1 tsp
Salt

Cooking

1. To roast the walnuts.

2. When nuts are cooled, cleaned

3. Pour into the chopper bowl nuts and turn on the blender for exactly 1 second. (the nuts turned into butter)

4. Basil wash, lay out on a paper towel to drain the water.

5. Detached from the stem of leaves, cut and put in large bowl

6. Grate cheese over here

7. Now press out the garlic

8. Pour nuts

9. Mix well, add olive oil and lemon juice

10. Because the chopper bowl is not big, this lot I divided into 2-3 parts individually and was crushed.

11. The processed food I put in the dishes. Then all the mass I shuffled and returned back to the bowl of the grinder to completely grind to a thick paste. To taste, if necessary, add salt.

12. Today I got a jar of 230g ( with which I will go to visit) and 0.5 mayonnaise jars.

Note: Italian Parmesan cheese I substituted cheese "Jugas". It is much cheaper and not inferior in taste. Also cook pesto with almonds. Very tasty. It is advisable to take mixed Basil (green + purple), then the taste will be richer, and the color is more green. You can also add any herbs (mint, parsley, cilantro). Experiment, it's very interesting!
