Walnut Basil Pesto

31/1/2019

Served here with peas, potato and chicken

Ingredients:

2 C basil leaves (loosely packed)
1/3 C walnuts, roughly chopped
1 T olive oil
1 lemon, squeezed
2 garlic cloves, sliced
Salt and pepper
Water to loosen if needed

Method:

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth (I often make this with my handheld blending stick too).

If wanting to serve it with the potatoes and peas -
Roughly chop potatoes (I leave the skin on), bring to a boil and cook until tender (approx 10 minutes), in the last 2 minutes add the frozen peas.
Drain the water, and while still warm stir through your pesto.
Serve alongside chosen protein - delicious hot or cold! Left overs are the best added to a salad.

I think I was able to try something like this before but I am not just sure if it has all the ingredients that you have included, However, what I can remember is that I did like what it tastes and the fact that it comes with a side dish that makes it more interesting and fun. It's a good thing though because you have shared this to us which means we have been given the chance to actually try this on our own. And I have to let you know that I did like the way you have presented this because I believe that your presentation made it look better and more appetizing. I can't really wait to try this at home once I already have all of the ingredients needed.
