What's not to like with pesto?
I say, "None!"
I am certain there will be some of you with a ready answer. And to that I say, "To each his own, my friend." :-)
I am so thankful for my precious big sister who introduced me to this heavenly Italian sauce. She has lived in Italy for so many years, and when she came home for a vacation, she had brought so much Italian food to take our brood on an Italian gastronomic tour! I have to admit, i did meet my first green mix with a wary eye. I remember I gave a tentative taste to my very 1st pasta la pesto, which my sister had excitedly prepared for the family. At that moment, my brain, together with all my tasting senses -- tongue, eyes and nose, reconciled to one wonderful fact -- what a pleasing pleasing pleasing thing this is indeed!
From then on, i have tried many a jar from many brands. Consistently, I have never been disappointed.
Very recently, I made a batch from scratch, but with a spin. It was so easy!
As I consider myself just a regular cook in my home, take heart when i say it is easy, because it means it really is just so easy. :-)
🗰 Shout-out to the vloggers and bloggers bunch out there, your shared recipes and tips are priceless. You are one of my favorite superheroes❣
Homemade Spinach Pesto
Olive Oil 1 cup
Spinach 4 cups
Walnuts 1/2 cup
Garlic 4 cloves
Lemon juice 1/2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
Pepper 1/2 tsp
Parmesan / Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup (optional)
1. Combine all in a food processor to your desired consistency.
Throw in a can of tuna 🐟 and it transforms into Tuna Pesto!
Try moringa leaves instead of spinach, and you've upped its healthy factor.
2. Transfer in a sterile jar.
3. Store in the fridge.
I kept a jar of this for 3 weeks in the fridge.
Perhaps it can last longer, but it just could not, not where I am anyway. :-p
4. Enjoy this with your pasta, sandwich, pan-fried chicken fillet and more!
^_^
If you have made your own pesto, I would love to know your yummy version!
Or if you have yet to taste your 1st one, i urge you to try ASAP.
I'm telling you, it might just be a whole new green world for you! 🌎
