Black Pepper Pesto

Ingredients

  • 1 large clove garlic or more if you LOVE garlic!
  • ½ cup toasted pine nuts or your favourite nut
  • ½ cup Italian parsley leaves
  • ½ cup curly parsley leaves
  • 1 ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the garlic +  nuts until coarsely chopped.
  2. Add the parsley +  pulse herbs  + the black pepper until chopped (about a minute)
  3. Add the oil slowly. Allow the oil to mix with the contents of the food processor.
  4. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. You may need to add more oil but I find that this amount usually works well.
  6. Season with salt, if using.

Recipe Notes

** Note: I tend to use parsley as the herb, as it goes well with the black pepper. Experiment with your favourites!
