Basil Pecan Pesto image

I prefer the taste of pecans over the pine nuts usually called for in pesto recipes. I developed this recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes!

BASIC PESTO



Basic Pesto image

Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano
1/2 cup pecans
Kosher salt1 pound spaghetti
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scatter the pecans on a rimmed sheet pan and toast until they are fragrant and a shade or two darker, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool.

BASIL PECAN PESTO



BASIL PECAN PESTO image

My lovely cousin Carol sent me home from her house in Tampa with the most delicious pesto. We made it last as long as possible, and then I decided to make my own version of hers. I think I did a passable job! It is different, but still delicious! We love it on pizza with mushrooms and onions or pasta! I added a little lemon juice to keep the color bright. I also have been told that parsley does the same thing, so I added some of that too.

MASHAMA BAILEY'S PECAN PESTO



Mashama Bailey's Pecan Pesto image

This recipe, from the chef Mashama Bailey of the Grey in Savannah, Ga., came to The Times in 2015. The pesto's roots are Italian, of course, but its flavor and texture nod first to the South, with pecans swapped in to the paste in place of more traditional pine nuts, and then to the wider world, with the inclusion of both Thai and opal basils to the mix. But use whatever basil you can find. Ms. Bailey's cooking is more about bending the rules than enforcing them.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small clove garlic
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
1 cup fresh opal basil leaves (or substitute more basil)
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan
Salt

Steps:

  • Put garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to break it into smaller pieces.
  • Add basil and pecans to the processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil and purée until mixture is mostly smooth.
  • Transfer pesto to a bowl and stir in grated cheese. Season to taste with salt.
