Hey everyone. I told you that I'd be posting a recipe for basil pesto and I'm just now getting around to it. Pesto is really easy to make and super easy to vary. I'm just giving you the basic basil recipe but you can add as much or as little of other herbs to make it your own and switch up some boring dishes!
1 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2 cups of basil
1 cup of chopped parsley
1 tbsp salt (Don't use sea salt or kosher salt here. You want to use fine salt so it blends better)
1 tbsp black pepper
1 clove of garlic finely chopped
1 lemon zested
1. Combine the basil and parsley in a food processor.
2. Add the garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to the food processor.
3. Pulse the mixture while slowly adding the olive oil.
You can make big batches of this and freeze it. Also, this pesto goes great on some baked or grilled chicken, pizza, or pasta!
