Large Or Small Batch Basil Pesto Recipes
LARGE OR SMALL BATCH BASIL PESTO
Pesto can be made with many a herb (parsley, chives, tarragon, cilantro) as well as many a vegetable (kale), cheese (pecorino), and/or nut (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts). Because our CSA had gifted us three enormous bundles in two weeks, I made a straight-up basil pesto, omitting the nuts mostly because they're so darn expensive. If you like the texture and flavor offered by nuts, you can definitely add them here. Quantities are listed in ingredient list. Pesto freezes beautifully. Freezing in ice cube trays or something similar is handy, because it allows you to remove small portions as needed. Re kosher salt: I note the brand I use, Diamond Crystal, because saltiness varies among brands. If you use Morton's kosher salt, for example, you should cut the amount of salt back because Morton's is saltier than Diamond Crystal. To make a small batch of pesto, use these quantities: 4 cups (85 g) loosely packed basil 2 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal brand, see notes) 1/2 cup (57 g) grated Parmigiano Reggiano 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, almonds, or walnuts (optional) 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:
- Combine basil, garlic, lemon, 3 teaspoons of the salt, and the cheese in a food processor. Pulse to combine-you may have to pulse in batches. Add the oil and purée to combine. Taste. Adjust with more salt, lemon or oil to taste. Store in fridge or transfer to ice cube trays and freeze; then transfer to a ziplock bag and store in freezer.

SMALL BATCH DILL PESTO
Dill pesto is one of my favorite ways to kick up the flavor on broiled or baked fish. It's also very good served over grilled or roasted veggies. I used a small bunch of dill.

Steps:
- Place dill fronds (a few stems are OK), walnuts, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes into the bowl of a food processor. If you have a mini or small food processor, it will be large enough for this recipe.
- Pulse until everything is minced well, scraping down the sides as necessary. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil, blending for a few seconds until smooth.
- If not serving immediately, store the pesto in an airtight container and chill until ready to use.
