Instructions

  • 1.   It's best to make it in a mortar, but a large spice blender works just fine
    A regular blender is probably too big
  • 2.   Grind the pine nuts until you have a paste
    Add the garlic
    The paste should be fairly smooth
  • 3.   Add only the basil leaves (and a pinch of coarse salt if using a mortar, it helps to shred the leaves)
    Mix them well into the paste, pre-cutting them helps and do it in batches if necessary.
  • 4.   Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix it in
  • 5.   Gradually add the oil, stopping when the oil no longer incorporates (it's usually a little less than 10cl)

Ingredients for servings

  • 30 g of pine nut
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 80 g of fresh basil
  • 100 g of parmesan
  • 80 ml of olive oil
  • salt (according to taste)
