Chuck it all into a blender/food processor and press "on". That's all it takes.
Blitz to a smooth puree:
50g (2oz) fresh basil leaves
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Dash of salt
25g (1oz) Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (substitute with Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) or Grana Padano if unavailable)
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Delicious stirred into pasta, roasted with chicken, grilled on bread with melted cheese for amazing toasties, tossed with salad and olive oil as a herby dressing...
Homemade pesto is food of the gods! Hmm I wonder if pesto is breakfast food...
ReplyDeletePesto on a toasted bagel with an olive oil fried egg is definitely breakfast... yummm.
ReplyDeleteI definitely will try this for breakfast
DeleteThanks for this. I made it yesterday when I had guests over, and it went down very well. Everyone suitably impressed, which is the main thing (and it was easy to make). Ta!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Ben, easy but impressive is always good! :)

Hi Sam, thanks for good recipe. Can you share where can you get the Pecorino Romano cheese in Malaysia? Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi! I imagine most supermarkets should have it... if not, try Cold Storage or specialty baking shops like Bake With Yen/Chang Tung?
DeleteThanks Sam, will try to get it in the suggested places. ;)
DeleteI really like the fresh perspective you did on the issue. I will be back soon to check up on new posts! Thank you!
