Equipments used:
Notes
- Substitute pine nuts or walnuts instead of almonds for a different flavor profile.
- Use either virgin or extra virgin olive oil.
- Other optional additions
- This pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze in single serve portions or in ice cube trays, like we do when we freeze fresh spinach.
- Once the cubes are frozen, remove from the trays and place them in a freezer bag or container. Freeze at least 12 months.
- Before use thaw in the refrigerator or just pop a frozen cube into the dish you’re making. It can also be thawed in the microwave or on the stove in a small saucepan.
- See article above for suggested uses.
- basil, parsley or other fresh herbs
- scallions
- red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a kick.
