Ingredients
Basil Pesto – Makes 1-1/2 Cups
2 packed cups of fresh Basil
1/2 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
3 Garlic Cloves
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (Amul Cheese/ Nutritional Yeast)
1/2 cup bread crumbs**
1 tsp Salt or per taste
2-3 Ice Cubes
Cooking Instructions:
Retain the vibrant bright green color of the basil by blanching it. In order to blanch the basil, throw it into boiling water for 10 seconds and then shock it in a bowl of ice-cold water.
Place all the ingredients in a blender and pulverize until nearly smooth or to desired consistency.
**For the bread crumbs, use any kind of hard bread load and pulse it in a blender. Packaged bread crumbs can be used as well, but may not provide best results.
