Basil pesto dip

A crowd favourite, whizz ingredients together, into a bowl and serve with robust bread or over pasta will see the family fed in minutes.

Basil pesto dip

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 large bunches basil, washed, leaves removed
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • ½ cup cashews, unsalted
  • 60g (about 1 cup) finely grated parmesan
  • 75mL extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped

Method

Place the basil leaves, pine nuts, cashews, parmesan, olive oil and garlic in a food processor and process until combined.

Place dip in a bowl and serve with robust bread!

 

Notes:

  • Parmesan cheese makes the dip quite salty, so I don’t normally add extra salt.
