Here’s how you make this creamy basil pesto at home ☺️

Ingredients :
Basil Leaves - 3 Cups
Walnuts - 1/4th Cup
Salt & Pepper - to Taste
Garlic - 3 Cloves
Parmesan Cheese - 2 Tbsps
Lime Juice - 1/2 Tbsp
Olive Oil - 3-4 Tbsps

Process :
Start by dry toasting the walnuts on a pan on low heat - until they start getting colour
To a mortar pestle, add in the roasted walnuts along with the Parmesan cheese and pound till it forms a powder, add in the roughly chopped garlic & basil leaves in batches - pound until everything breaks down
Continue to pound until the leaves break down completely
Season with salt & pepper to taste along with lime juice & olive oil
Transfer to an airtight container and cover the pesto in a layer of olive oil to prevent oxidation
You can do this process in a blender as well - make sure to keep the pesto slightly coarse for a nice texture & not grind it completely
Refrigerate the pesto in an airtight container for 2- 4 weeks
Use it to make pastas, sandwiches or dips & Enjoy 🌿
