When the winter blues set in and start to get you down, it’s great to have a few batches of this stored in the freezer. Pop them out and serve over pasta, poached eggs, greenhouse tomatoes, what the heck—anything—and remember that spring is just around the corner.
3 oz. fresh basil
1 ½ cup grated parmesan
1 ½ cup olive oil
½ cup of water
¼ cup lemon juice
½ cup pine nuts or chopped walnuts
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 cloves of garlic
In a food processor add Basil, Parmesan, Nuts, Garlic, Salt and Pepper. Pulse several times until everything is combined. Then combine the oil, water and lemon juice in a small bowl and while the food processor is running on low speed, pour in the liquids until the mixture becomes very fine and smooth. Pour into a container and let rest in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before eating.
