Homemade Pesto (no Pine Nuts)

Given dumpling's reaction to peanuts, I've steered clear of all nuts. I know that peanuts is a legume and is different from other nuts, however the GP recommended to avoid it until we have an allergy test.

You can add pine nuts to this recipe if you wish. Just add about 50grams.

Mess Level: Super messy if you're using it with Pasta or spread on bread/pita! However not so bad if it is in a pinwheel (see pinwheel recipe)

Perfect for: Lunch at home (if its pasta), picnic, outdoor dining

Ingredients:

- 50g bunch of basil, leaves only

- 1 garlic clove

- 35g finely grated parmesan cheese

- Roughly 100ml Olive Oil

Method:

1. Put all ingredients into food processor and blitz until it becomes a consistent paste.

Storage:

Can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in a jar in the freezer for 9 months.
