Description

An easy guide to making a delicious and versatile pesto, and how to make it your own!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
  • 1/2 shallot
  • 12 cloves garlic
  • 12 tablespoons crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • pinch of salt and pepper to taste
  • 34 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except olive oil to a food processor and process until you have a paste like consistency. Add olive oil and process until the desired thickness and texture is reached.

Notes

Always buy feta in a block whenever possible and crumble as you need it. I don’t know why but it tastes so much better than pre-crumbled!
