PURPLE BASIL PESTO

While stalking the web for a recipe to use my bushels of purple basil, I came across this wonderful recipe. Please tell me how you make it your own! The Farmgirl Fare site where I found the recips does state "Except for the fact that purple basil isn't as pretty as the green and does make a rather oddly colored pesto, I would probably quit growing the green stuff altogether. Mixing a few green leaves into the pesto does help brighten it up a bit."

  • Mix all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor until thoroughly combined and the consistency you like.
  • With the food processor running, drizzle in the olive oil through that chute thingie. Add more salt to taste if necessary.
  • Store pesto in the refrigerator for several days or freeze.

1/2 cup whole almond (roasted & salted)
4 ounces purple basil (about 4 cups packed, but it's best if you weigh it)
3 -6 large garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

BASIC PESTO

Pesto is a mouthful of bright summer - basil made more so. You can buy it in a jar or in the refrigerator section of your grocery story, but there is nothing better than making it yourself. Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers' markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you've got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.

  • Toast the pinenuts very lightly, ie heat the pan well and then roast without oil, for a few seconds, so that the pine nuts don't start turning brown but remain fresh with just that hint of fragrance which is going to add flavour to the pesto. Remove stalks and stems from the basil leaves.
  • Place the garlic in the food processor along with the salt and process. Add the basil leaves and run the processor on pulse a couple of times, till the basil is crushed. You want the pesto to be a little coarse, not a smooth puree. Add the pine nuts and again run the processor, about 30 seconds.
