Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup roasted macadamia nuts
- 1 cup fresh basil, packed this is about 4 ounces
- ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
- ½ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the basil leaves. Set aside.
- Add the roasted macadamia nuts to the mini food processor. Process 10-20 seconds until the macadamia nuts are chopped into smaller pieces.
- Then add the basil, grated parmesan cheese, garlic, sea salt, and half the olive oil.
- Process until all the ingredients are well mixed and there are no big pieces of macadamia nuts or basil.Note: You may have to process for about 10-20 seconds, then use a small spatula to mix things up a bit. And then process again.
- Add the rest of the olive oil and process again for another 10-20 seconds. If you prefer a more "loose" pesto, feel free to add more olive oil. Then it's all done and ready to eat ^_^
