Pesto
Ingredients
- Handful Fresh Basil
- 50g Pine nuts
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely shopped.
- 50ml Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of Balsamic vinegar
- Freshly ground salt & pepper
Roughly chop or tear basil and put into a large ceramic pestle along with the other ingredients. Mash until a green paste is achieved. Serve with crackers, pasta or salad... or whatever else you want to eat it with. Or simply eat it out of the pestle with a big spoon if you find low-cholesterol something to be ashamed of.
Don't be afraid to add the likes of olives or sun dried tomatoes or even Parmesan cheese to the mix. You can do it in a hand-blender for the sake of convenience or replace pine-nuts with other nuts.
