Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 That sounds a good recipe. We often make pesto past with basil but you do need a processer.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Use a blender. Works fine. If not, you can use a mallet, a towel, saran wrap and smash the almonds and then use the side of the blade of a wide knife and work it back and forth like for making a mole.
