ingredients
- 1 cup fresh basil leaf, stems removed
- 1⁄4 cup almonds, skins removed
- 1 garlic clove
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- olive oil
directions
- 1. In a blender, combine all ingredients and pulse. Stream the olive oil into the bowl while the mixture is blending. If pieces are getting stuck and not going around the blades, more olive oil is required. The resulting consistency should not be too thick, but not runny either. If your pesto is too liquid, add a little more Parmesan or almonds to thicken it up.
- 2. Add more sugar or salt to your taste. If you find your basil is quite bitter, you might want to add a pinch more sugar to adjust this, however take care to use it sparingly.
