Easy Pesto for Pizza on Grill #RecipeInBloom I am very fortunate that Basil grows readily in my garden - and my personal reward is that I have plenty of Basil to make Pesto. Let me show you how easy it is to make… Watch J make this recipe in this episode of Life in Bloom- 503 Herbs in Bloom!
Ingredients:
Basil               
Roasted Pine Nuts     
Garlic Cloves       
Olive Oil         
Parmesan

Prepare Basil leaves removing from the stem- I also cut the leaf away from the leaf stem - so that my mixture is very smooth. You need enough leaves to fill your food processor- the leaves will blend into a mixture that fills about an 1/4 of the food processor when blendedStep 1- Blend the Garlic, then add whole Basil leaves, then add roasted pine nuts, ( I show you in today's episode how to roast the pine nuts... it's gives them a dreamy taste) then add parmesan. Blend in Olive oil last to desired consistency.I love using Pesto for grilled pizza - it’s a great alternative to tomato sauce… (I show you the wonderful results of the Pizza in this show as well!)
