Easy Wanut Basil Pesto

• 130 grams Extra virgin olive oil
• 55 grams Fresh basil leaves
• 50 grams Walnuts
• 25 grams Powdered cheese (optional)
• 5 grams Garlic
• 5 grams Good quality salt
• 3 grams Black pepper
• 1 see step 6 for an additional note

1. Wash the basil leaves and use a paper towel, etc.
2. to properly wipe the moisture.
3. Add all of the ingredients except for the basil leaves to a blender and mix until smooth.
4. Add the basil and continue to mix until smooth.
5. Basil leaves are easily damaged by heat.
6. When making a lot the blender will get hot, so adding the leaves last will help keep their aroma.
7. To store the paste, pour in about 1 cm of olive oil to the top.
8. This keeps it from oxidizing and changing color.
9. Additional Note: I wrote 3-5 g for the salt amount.
10. 3 g is the regular amount, and 5 g gives it a strong saltiness, good for eating as-is with bread or potatoes.
11. Adjust the amounts as you see fit.
12. If adding powdered cheese, 3 g of salt should be enough.
