Basil - Grass Pesto
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!
