Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Hello. Could you please give me a bit more info on the Vegan Pesto? Approximately how much pine nuts, garlic, olive oil & basil leaves? Do you cook it at all? Is the garlic raw or cooked in some way? It sounds like something I'd really like. I've never had any kind of pesto but love garlic. Thanks in advance. Take care, Tammy , " Heartwork " <Heartwork@o...> wrote: > Colin makes lovely pesto sauce.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Hi Tammy Colin says he uses 3 to 4 large sprigs basil without the stalks, 1 large crushed garlic clove, 2 oz pine nuts, 4 tablespoons olive oil. Put basil, garlic and pine nuts in blender and whizz until smooth, then gradually add the oil. Jo - kittytooo Sunday, July 06, 2003 3:19 AM Re: Vegan Pesto Hello.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Thanks much! So you don't cook anything? Sautee the garlic or anything?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Vegan Pesto Source: Recipzaar. 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt 2 garlic cloves, peeled 1 tablespoon (3 tsp) pine nuts 1 cup fresh basil leaves 5 tablespoons (75 ml) extra virgin olive oil 1. Place sea salt, garlic, and pine nuts in a large mortar and crush with pestle to make a smooth sauce. Add a small ammount of basil leaves and grind against sides of mortar until they break apart. 2. Repeat until all basil leaves are used up and the mixture has formed a coarse paste. Add olive oil and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy. Serves 4 - 6.
