Mrs Oil's Fragrant & Zingy Pesto

4/4/2020

0 Comments

 
This is a quick and easy to make recipe. This can be used in a variety of dishes, Mrs Oil's favourite is Tomato, Goats Cheese and Pesto Tart. The addition of a squeeze of lemon juice lifts the flavours and gives it a zingy flavour. Can be kept in fridge for up to 3 days.

Ingredients
  • 1 garlic glove
  • 1 large bunch of fresh basil
  • 1 handful of pine nuts
  • 1 handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Orodeal  Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 lemon
 
Method
  1. Lightly toast the pine nuts – this will give them a creaminess, toast too much will make them taste nutty.
  2. Peel the garlic, then pound in a pestle and mortar with a pinch of Maldon sea salt.
  3. Pick, roughly chop and add the basil leaves, then bash to a paste. Mrs Oil prefers to use a pestle and mortar instead of a food processor as bashing the basil brings out the essential oil and taste of the basil.
  4. Add the pine nuts to the mixture and pound again, then stir in half the Parmesan.
  5. Drizzle in a little Orodeal – you want just enough to just bind the mixture.
  6. Add the remaining cheese, then season with salt and black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Have a taste, and keep adding a bit more cheese, Orodeal, salt and pepper until you are happy with the taste and consistency.
Ingredientes:
  • 1 diente de ajo
  • 1 manojo grande de albahaca fresca
  • 1 puñado de piñones
  • 1 puñado de queso parmesano recién rallado
  • Aceite de Oliva Virgen Extra Orodeal
  • ​1 limón
Método
1. Tostar ligeramente los piñones: esto les dará una cremosidad, tostarlos demasiado hará que tengan un sabor a nuez.
2. Pelar el ajo, luego machacarlo con el mortero y una pizca de sal marina Maldon.
3. Pique y agregue las hojas de albahaca, luego golpee hasta formar una pasta.  Mrs Oil prefiere usar el mortero en lugar de un procesador de alimentos, ya que golpear la albahaca resalta el aceite esencial y el sabor de la albahaca.
4
. Agregue los piñones a la mezcla y vuelva a machacar, luego agregue la mitad del parmesano.
5
. Rocíe un poco de Orodeal: utilece lo suficiente como para unir la mezcla.
6
. Agregue el queso restante, luego sazone con sal y pimienta negra y un poco de jugo de limón.  Pruebe y siga agregando un poco más de queso, orodeal, sal y pimienta hasta que esté satisfecho con el sabor y la consistencia.
