Preparing Basil Pesto

I am not always painting…

Our kitchen garden now produces huge amounts of basil. I am preparing a little jar of pesto for good friends here in the village, where we are invited for dinner tomorrow.

Hereby my recipe.

  • Basil. As much as your garden produces.
  • Garlic. As much as you dare.
  • Olive oil. As much as you find delicious.
  • Salt. As much as you can tolerate.
  • Parmesan cheese. As much as you can afford.
  • Pine nuts. As much as you have. I had nothing and it was too hot to go to the grocery.
  • Mix everything in a blender and you’re done.potje
