Pesto is one of the easiest things to make and it makes such a delicious meal! Of course, the trick here in Luanda is actually finding basil in the grocery store. When I DO find it, I buy a bunch and make this pesto sauce. You can serve it over baked chicken or mix it with pasta, or have it on toast or just eat it straight from the jar (no judgement here). There are only five ingredients and it takes just a couple minutes to prepare.
2 cups basil leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup pine nuts (you can substitute walnuts or pecans if you prefer)
Place everything in the food processor except the oil. Pulse a few minutes until everything is chopped well. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil. Continue to process a few more seconds. And that's it. You're done! I'll be posting my chicken pesto pasta recipe in the next few days, so watch for it :)
