Homemade Pesto
Ingrediënten
- 2 cups basil
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 glove garlic
- 1 tbsp lemon juice between 1-3 tbsp to taste
Instructies
- Combine basil, pine nuts, cheese and garlic into the blender. While the blender is running, add in olive oil a little by little. At the end add lemon juice.
- Taste the pesto and adjust if needed. By adding more cheese the pesto will be creamier. And by adding more olive oil it will be thinner.
- Put pesto in a jar and drizzle the top with some olive oil. You can store pesto for up to one week. Everytime you have used a bit from the pesto, drizzle the top with olive oil again. This way you can keep it for longer and fresher.
