Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 2 bunches of basil
  • 60 g pine nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Chili powder, as much as you like
  • Olive oil (very good, you really shouldn’t skimp on it)
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

First, chop the garlic relatively finely in a food processor or mortar, then add the pine nuts and oil. When everything has a nice yellow mass, gradually add the basil. The mixture will now be quite runny. To change this, add the Parmesan cheese to thicken it. Finally, season everything with salt and chili, as desired. To store it, simply pour it into a clean jam jar or preserving jar and cover with a little olive oil. It will keep in the refrigerator for about 2-4 weeks, but you can also freeze it.
