Video Recipe: Basil Pesto

[blogleftbanker]

Pine nuts are horribly expensive, at least for me where I live (Spain). You can use lots of other nuts as a substitute. Good work (again), Señor Snow.

Walnutz are cheaper but use pine nuts.... They taste much better. I have a video check it out on mustgrill

When I make pesto with lemon juice, exposure to air causes the pesto to turn an unappetizing brown. It stays green when I use lime juice instead of lemon.

I'm not here to critique this guy's pesto recipe, but fucking hell - orijjeiano? ITS OREGANO, you goddamn douche.

[userss00]

@maxisbored he said parmigiano. u r messed up

[dalygirard]

@maxisbored He said reggiano which is a cheese you idiot

[xMoveLikeUGonnaDiex]

with a basil pesto, can you not add any type of nuts? Would it be good with everythin but the nuts?

[curiosa83]

so i guess if i use pine nuts i don't need the lemon juice?

[vampeve82]

can u dehydrate it till you can grind into a powder for storage on something like that . so you just add oil or water  to reconstitute it to the sauce .

[jpmorgan187]

i like to use nuts on my chin

[fullyay]

@jpmorgan187 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

This is such an insightful video. I tried making my own pesto but it turned out to be a disaster. Either I put too much extra virgin olive oil or pine nuts, oh, I don't know. But I am going to try this recipe! Thanks so much Chef Keith Snow!

Great stuff

[loneleigh]

You don't put the cheese in first! You fold it in at the last!! And true pesto has pine nuts not walnuts. Looks terrible sorry.

[odin422]

fool

[2tallbrandon]

i make a pesto with marijuana and sour cream and riccota cheese as well as garlic and basil of course. the sour cream is for the thc to be absorbed. and the riccota is to act as a thickening and parmesan replacement. i also use pine nuts if i can find them damn safeway... but roasted walnuts are good to. This will work well

proccess:

basil 2 cups

11/2-2 cloves garlic

add 2 tbl spn sour cream

1-2 grams ground nugget or 1-2 tbl spns flour (finely ground trim)

refridgerate for 6 hours+

I don't know why this guy calls himself a chef, first he's using a food processor to make pesto. YOU NEVER USE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL in pesto because it kills the flavor of basil and over powers it. You should use a light flavored oil. Also, soak your basil before you use it. I hate these 3 rate chefs who ruin pesto.

[RLRoX]

True True but I like the EVOO but not to much, because I like the basil to stick to my pasta not slide to the bottom.

[royalxsweetie]

I use pine nuts for my pesto recipe as well.... but pesto can be made w/any kind of herb and nut.

[userss00]

@royalxsweetie exactly-its like the more u know the more u wanna experiment and play arnd. normally its pine nuts but one shldnt feel restricted in cooking and shld experiment.

love you chef keith. the ice cube tray is brilliant.

[jojo808]

[JMSfrancistown]

[PuppyZwolle]

Italians frown on the proper use of kitchen apliances?

If you have a famiglia you DEFINATELY use a machine.

Nice twist.

[ry27k]

[Supercel]

i`m from Genova..a suggestion..use

pine nuts instead of nuts and use half parmigiano reggiano and half pecorino (instead of only reggiano)

However good job

Bloody marvelous video, simple, interesting and completely understandeable, brilliant idea with the icecube tray, i have a decent sized basil plant and was wondering how to use up some of the leaves!! Thanks W Devon, England.

[psp4lyf3]

he always uses extra virgin olive oil and kosher salt, im surpirsed u didnt use the salt this time

[Shebaqueenof]

Good job cant wait to try. Wonder how the lemon juice will test? That is new!

[RustyDK]

made this and it is terrific, and he's right about the lemon juice, you definately need it, it improves the taste of it so much, really cuts through the heaviness of the walnuts

[lololobol]

super video, keep posting them

[hkitty383]

I totally love your videos!

Thank From Italy , Bye Keyth
