Basil pesto

I got another basil plant and thought I would have a go at making pesto.

What I learned from the experience:

That the Magic Bullet is the worst possible appliance for making pesto with.

And I had so much faith in you magic bullet, you failed me!!! In the end, I still managed to make a jarful, but the bits aren't blended evenly. Next time I will use a more trustworthy appliance, perhaps one that won't blend my ingredients into a meatball shaped glob.

What I used (without any measurements whatsoever):
lots of basil
pine nuts
walnuts (that I cracked open one by one - so much commitment!)
parmesan
garlic
olive oil



Here it is in an old jar in my fridge. My fingers smell like garlic and basil, so heavenly!
