Pesto!  by peadar

Pesto!

Simple to do, and far superior to even the best you can get from a supermarket.
It just sings, doesn't it? All that zingy freshness - mmmm.

So tasty, especially if you make it yourself! Have you ever tried to make it with other ingredients? At one time I had a lot of ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria) in my garden and the young leaves, olive oil, parmesan and almonds was also very tasty.

@jacqbb Jacq, yes I've tried it with rocket leaves and walnuts (plus the olive oil, parmesan and garlic) - that was very nice. Basil and almonds I liked, parsley and pine nuts I found a bit bland. ๐Ÿ˜€

Nothing beats home made pesto!

Looked great. It doesnโ€™t compare to the jarred variety.

It's definitely better to do everything yourself. But I try to lose weight and thus avoid working in the kitchen.

umm -- @darylo -- does this rival your green sauce?? @peadar -- I appreciate your variations you describe above. My most recent variation was with carrot tops! Looking forward to trying arugula and walnuts

@jyokota Yes, rocket and walnuts is good... Happy snacking!

@jyokota @peadar so many variations it's hard to do wrong! My green sauce has no oil.

@peadar I can't remember where Daryl first posted about her green sauce (but she does put it in every other recipe she posts) but here's a copy on my project: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2021-01-14
I can't digest onions and garlic so the only way I can eat things like this is if I make it myself.
