How To Make Pesto Sauce

[iPhTx3]

It's soo brown because pesto isn't traditionally supposed to be made in a food processor. Food processors hyperoxidize the basil making it brown fast and changing the flavor. Using a pestle and mortar gives the pesto a much better texture and flavor while retaining that nice green color. Also, extra virgin olive oil kills the flavor, I would use more simple oils.

Thanks for sharing the nut substitution tip ;)

@missapplepucker Sure thing, glad to be of help. I love Pine Nuts, but very pricey and I use it sparingly. Thanks for the feedback!

Lime !?

That is not pesto, wrong-wrong-wrong.

Pesto ingredients are -

fresh basil

grated goat or sheep cheese

olive oil

pine nuts ( maybe a bit of walnut or cashew)

garlic

And a touch of salt + fresh ground pepper.

PERIOD - end of discussion.
