Hazelnut Pesto
"I make enough to have all winter!"
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup of hybrid hazelnuts 1 cup of basil (or swap half the basil for garlic scapes) 1/3 cup of hazelnut oil 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese 1 clove of garlic 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/2 of a lemon INSTRUCTIONS
BLEND. Combine all ingredients in a blender until desired texture. You may need to add additional hazelnut oil. No need to make the pesto completely smooth: The hazelnut pieces add a nice texture to pasta dishes.
TO FREEZE. To save your pesto year round, scoop into an ice cube dish and freeze. |
