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

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

Notes

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