How to prepare Basil Pesto:
Ingredients:
- Bunch of fresh basil leaves.
- 2 cloves of fresh garlic.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Dash of Balsamic vinegar (about 2 tbs).
- A handful of pine nuts.
- About 1/2 cup good extra virgin olive oil.
Except for the oil, put everything in a food processor and grind together. Then slowly drizzle the oil while the machine is on until the mixture thickens. Taste to see if the salt is OK and it should taste creamy.
Pour it in a bowl, and drizzle a little oil on the pesto, which helps to retain its green color.
