Pesto / Pesto Dip

Pesto is a great way to use up the summer surge of Basil and will keep for weeks in the fridge and also freezes well.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2oz (50g) Fresh Basil Leaves
  • 1 large clove Garlic (crushed)
  • 1 Tablespoon Pine Kernels
  • 6 tablespoons MELLOW YELLOW
  • 1oz Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • Salt

DIRECTIONS

If using a blender, place all ingredients apart from the parmesan and blend until you have a smooth purée. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the parmesan.

If you do not have a blender, you can use a pestle and mortar to pound the basil, pine kernels and garlic to a paste. Add the salt and cheese followed by the very gradual addition of the MELLOW YELLOW until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Serves 2/3 if served with pasta.

Or... simply mix with mayonnaise for a delicious pesto dip.
