Parsley and Lemon Pesto
I love love making pesto at home. It’s actually so easy to make and I always try to make a huge batch that I can enjoy on everything. I like using pesto in sandwiches, pastas, salad and so so on. Of course if you don’t have time to make homemade pesto you can definitelly use store bought whatever is available. Although I highly recommend you to get some time and make a huge batch of homemade pesto. You can store it in the fridge for a really long time if you store it with a lid on and covered with olive oil.
How to make homemade parsley pesto?
So so easy. You only need couple of ingredients to make pesto but the result is well worthy.
- Garlic. It’s my favourite spice vegetable that I use a lot. It’s alsocheap and easy to work with. You’ll only need couple of cloves to make pesto delicious.
- Parsley. One of the cheapest greens you can find in suermarket. Also one of my favourite greens that I use almost on everything.
- Olive oil. Use a high quility olive oil here as it gives a lot of flavour to the pesto
- Lemon juice. Also one of the best things to use for sour taste and keeps the pesto green for a longer time
- Pine nuts. Here you can get creative and use other nuts on hand if you’dd like to. I prefer pine nuts as they make pesto creamy.
- Salt. How is anything without salt, isn’t it?
