Pesto + VIDEO

Pesto + VIDEO | bsinthekitchen.com #pesto #basil #bsinthekitchen

In a never ending quest to expand my culinary horizons and due to a large amount of fresh basil in my fridge, I decided it was time to try making pesto for the first time!

It certainly won’t be my last!

This stuff was delicious! I ate a significant amount just “taste-testing” the pesto and I had to stop myself before it got out of hand and I ate it all! Along with trying my hand at pesto, I figured why not shoot a video for it too right!? I wanted to try a different editing style on this video, and decided to channel my inner James Brown and make a funky piece of music to go along with my vision. I gotta say I’m pretty happy with the results!

What do you guys think? Should I give up food blogging and become a SOUL MAN?? HEEYY!

Anyways, check out the video and make this recipe, the pesto was delicious! I put it on a pizza, and I think I will try it on some pasta next!

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 5 mins
Total Time 15 mins
Course Condiment
Cuisine Italian
Servings 1 /2 cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1/8 cup pine nuts
  • 2 cups packed fresh basil stems removed
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • *This recipe makes about a 1/2 cup of pesto.
  • In a pot of boiling water, blanch the basil for about 10 seconds and remove to ice cold water cool the basil.
  • Drain most of the water out of the basil.
  • In a food processor, add your pine nuts, processing a few times, until the nuts are roughly chopped.
  • Add your basil, processing until chopped and combined with the nuts.
  • Add in your garlic, processing for a few seconds.
  • Add your parmesan, process until combined.
  • Finally, if you have a food processor with a hole in the top, slowly add your olive oil while it processes, allowing it to mix in with the rest of the ingredients. If like me, you don't have a fancy food processor, add the oil in three parts, processing until pesto reaches your desired consistency!
  • Add a few pinches of salt to taste and enjoy!

    I love the video! Homemade pesto is great when you have an abundance of basil. Pesto pizza with fried eggplant is probably my favorite combination you should def give it a try
