Pesto is an aromatic herb paste, traditionally made from fresh basil, garlic, nuts and olive oil. You can also add some parmesan cheese to add flavor. To make other flavorful, fragrant variations of pesto, use other herbs such as cilantro or mint.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup almonds
3 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pinch ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place almonds on a cookie sheet, and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
In a food processor, combine toasted almonds, garlic, basil, olive oil, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Process until a coarse paste is formed.
