Pesto with a Twist
It's really easy to grow your own basil in the yard, I have it planted in my flower garden.
The word Pesto simply means paste, any ingredients in the blender becomes a paste. Be creative, next time I think I will use Green Olives instead of the Black ones and add some home grown parsley.
Basil Pesto is quick a easy to make in the blender only we added a can for Black Olives. Adding the olives makes this a Greek recipe.
2 c fresh basil
1/2 c fresh Parmesan
1/2 c olive oil
1/3 c pine nuts
3 cloves garlic
1 can black olives drained
(olives have a high salt content, if salt is an issue for you leave out olives)
Blend ingredient together in the blender and spread on Trader Joe's Whole Grain Bread
