Ways I enjoyed my Brazilian Spinach and Genovese Basil Pesto


The main ingredient to a good pesto is the fresh basil leaves and since I have a few cups, I used my brazilian spinach to enliven the usual fare. The authentic Italian pesto calls for pine nuts and I am lucky to have much of it as of this time. It was sent to me from abroad. In the Philippines, a kilo of it cost P2,000. Of course, so as not to consume my nutty sweet smelling pine nuts, I also used almonds. 

For this batch, here are my ingredients:

Brazilian Spinach
Genovese basil
Parmesan Cheese
Garlic
Pine nuts
Almonds
Himalayan salt
Extra virgin olive oil (Evoo)

By small batches, put ingredients in a blender and blend until all is done. Store in a glass container and top with EVOo To seal off freshness. 


Use the pesto on your pasta, a spoon of it will already make two plates served in your fave resto. Or top ot on your toast and use as marinade for your fish.
