The flavour and texture of traditional pesto without the nuts.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups fresh basil
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp oatmeal
3 cloves of garlic (or use roasted garlic for a milder flavour), minced
Sea salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until a fine paste is formed.
Ideas for using pesto:
- Spread on a sandwich.
- Spread it on any thin cut of meat or fish, then coat with bread crumbs and quickly saute.
- Mix with extra olive oil or mayonnaise to make a salad dressing. It is especially good on pasta salads.
- Stir into rice, mashed potatoes, or hot vegetables.
- Toss with hot cooked pasta and the heat will bring out the flavours of the basil, garlic, and cheese.
- Drizzle over grilled meats or vegetables.
