We have about 10 basil plants growing in the backyard and it is time to start preparing for the fall garden. Today my husband pulled one up and I started making some pesto for the freezer. I made the pesto, put it in some freezer safe jars and put them in the freezer. Oh...and we saved some and are about to eat some with some quinoa. Yummie!!!!
The Ingredients
1 cup of Basil
1/4 cup of macadamia nuts (cashews or pine nuts can be used also)
1/4 cup of Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed is the best)
3 Garlic Cloves
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne (if you like it hot...if not, use less or none)
The Procedure
Place all of the ingredients in a Vita-Mix blender (or a food processor will do) and blend/process until
smooth.
How To Eat
- Over any pasta
- on a sandwich
- with crackers
- as a dip or spread
