"Grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." - I'm on the Twitter. I've resisted for so long, but due to the ongoing job search Twitter has become a necessity. Follow me @c8withac if you're interested.
It's been a long, hot summer and I haven't been doing much cooking. However I have become very good at growing basil and it's taking over my place. So in an effort to utilize all this basil I have been making pesto, and have discovered that pesto recipes are as unique as snowflakes.
I found this one at www.vegweb.com and thought it was the best.
Simple Vegan Pesto
3 cups Fresh Basil Leaves
6 Tbsp Pine Nuts
2-4 cloves Garlic
3/4 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
6 Tbsp Olive Oil
*a note about basil - wash basil leaves by soaking, then drain, and lay to dry on paper towels to dry overnight.
1. Put the basil, nuts, garlic, and salt into a food processor or good blender.
2. Process (blend) until all the ingredients are finely chopped.
3. Add the oil and process until it's all worked in together.
Yields about 1 cup.
