Pesto Genovese
(za oko 350 ml umaka)
Dakle, za originalnu verziju se u mužaru usitni češnjak sa krupnom solju pa se tome dodaju listovi
bosiljka, koji se usitne kružnim pokretima kako bi pustili sokove. Z atim dodajete orahe pa naribane
sireve, muškat. oraščić i na kraju sve povežete maslinovim uljem.
Ukoliko nemate mužar, možete sve usitniti u električnoj sjeckalici.
Pesto Genovese
Pesto is a sauce originating in Genoa in the Liguria region of northern Italy. T he name is
connected to the word pestâ (Italian: pestare), which means to pound, to crush, in reference to the
original method of preparation, with marble mortar and wooden pestle.
Original Pesto Genovese is made with f resh basil leaves, olive oil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and
Pecorino cheese. However, there are many variations on the theme today. You can actually use rocket,
parsley or spinach leaves to make pesto plus some other nuts. T here is also a version called pesto rosso,
which uses less basil leaves and tomatoes and almonds.
You can use pesto in all kinds of meals. For me, it enhances every meal and makes everything smell and
taste great, I'm a huge pesto f an. You can pour it over f ish, potatoes, salads, pasta, rice...
I made my pesto with walnuts instead of pine nuts. You will get approximately 350 ml of sauce:
I took my mortar and pestle and crushed 2 cloves garlic with some sea salt.
I then added 150 g fresh basil leaves and crushed them.
I added 50 g of grated Parmesan cheese and 30 g of Pecorino cheese with 50 g walnuts
(which I used instead of pine nuts), a pinch of nutmeg. I crushed everything together and in
the end combined it with 100 ml of llive oil.
T his time I used my pesto f or something slightly dif f erent. Stay tuned, I will show you in my next post.
