PURPLE BASIL PESTO



Purple Basil Pesto image

While stalking the web for a recipe to use my bushels of purple basil, I came across this wonderful recipe. Please tell me how you make it your own! The Farmgirl Fare site where I found the recips does state "Except for the fact that purple basil isn't as pretty as the green and does make a rather oddly colored pesto, I would probably quit growing the green stuff altogether. Mixing a few green leaves into the pesto does help brighten it up a bit."

  • Toast the pinenuts very lightly, ie heat the pan well and then roast without oil, for a few seconds, so that the pine nuts don't start turning brown but remain fresh with just that hint of fragrance which is going to add flavour to the pesto. Remove stalks and stems from the basil leaves.
  • Place the garlic in the food processor along with the salt and process. Add the basil leaves and run the processor on pulse a couple of times, till the basil is crushed. You want the pesto to be a little coarse, not a smooth puree. Add the pine nuts and again run the processor, about 30 seconds.

THE PURPLE BASIL IN PESTO - DONUTS
2021-05-25 As its name suggests, the purple basil instead of being green like most herbs, has a vibrant purple color. It’s has some clove flavor and it's not as sweet as other basil varieties.
