Pesto 3 ways
For drinks and snacks or a starter with (rustic) bread, or to enhance your pasta. You can easily freeze any leftovers in an ice cube tray.
Preparation
- Making pesto is very simple, and the method is the same for all three.
- Toast the pine nuts briefly. Do this in a dry pan, moving it constantly so the nuts do not burn. Let them cool for a moment.
- If you are intolerant to pine nuts, you can use walnuts instead.
- Add all the ingredients except the olive oil to a food processor or blender. Start by adding 3 tablespoons of olive oil and turn on the machine. Continue adding olive oil little by little until you reach the desired consistency. Make sure not to blend it too smoothly.
- It is ready to serve or incorporate into another dish.
