Fresh Sweet Basil Pesto Recipes
THE BEST BASIL PESTO
Pesto is so versatile, the principle of herbs, nuts and cheese, bolstered by garlic and good extra virgin olive oil, can be taken in so many different ways. This is the classic combo, celebrating basil, pine nuts and Parmesan, but use what you've got in stock.

Steps:
- Peel and bash the garlic in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of sea salt.
- Pick the basil leaves and add with the pine nuts, and pound to a coarse paste.
- Muddle in the extra virgin olive oil and finely grate and stir in the Parmesan, adding a splash of water if you like it a little runnier, then continue bashing and pounding until smooth.
- Have a taste and season with salt and black pepper, if needed. For a lovely creamy finish, try crumbling in and stirring through a cooked Jersey Royal. Serve with grilled meat or fish, or simply stirred through pasta - delicious!
