Pesto

Made today with fresh parsley out of my garden, and for a change, I actually had all the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1/2 cups Italian parsley
  • 1/2 cup almonds, whole or walnuts
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Method

  1. In a food processor, process the nuts until they have turned into chunky crumbs.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. You may like to add more olive oil if you prefer it smoother  rather than chunkier.

Makes

1 1/2 cups
