Basil and Oregano Pesto with Walnuts
What do you do with a sink full of oregano?
The following recipe!
Ingredients:
2 bunch fresh Basil picked
1 bunch fresh Oregano picked
1 oz peeled fresh Garlic
2 oz grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
1 oz of Walnuts or Pine Nuts
Juice of 1 lemon
4 oz good quality Olive Oil
Preparation:In a food processor or blender place the Basil, Oregano, Garlic and Olive Oil.
Blend until chopped fine, if you like a smoother Pesto let it blend or process longer.
Proceed by adding the cheese and then the Walnuts, this will thicken up the mixture.
If you want a looser Pesto add more oil slowly. If you don't care for Oregano substitute 1/2 flat Italian parsley.
Not the most photogenic, but oh so good!
