Basil - Grass Pesto

switch to metric units
1
bunch of basil
035 oz
grass (without the stems of course)
0.35 oz
butter
3.5 oz
pine nuts
2.45 oz
finely grated parmesan cheese
3
cloves of garlic
1 cups
olive oil

Dry the pine nuts and roast them in a pan, then let them cool. Crumble the grass up finely and sweat it in the butter at a very low temperature, then let it cool as well. Mince the pine nuts, grass butter, plucked basil leaves, and garlic cloves with a grinder, food processor, or hand blender until it turns into a grass-green mash. Add the finely grated parmesan cheese and make it into a paste by adding the olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tip: Pesto keeps longer in a glass, covered with a layer of olive oil!
