MY PESTO IS THE BESTO I just made some amazing Pesto in my new "Bullet" blender......I picked Basil,young Kale, Parsley, a bit of Marjoram and Garlic in the garden and whizzed it up with a tiny bit of water, Olive oil and a handful of walnuts.........and salt. Tastes so fresh and is a gorgeous green colour.....I ate it on Rotini with freshly grated Parmesan and added a few grape-Tomatoes for colour.......I should have taken a photo, but I was too hungry to think about that........ |

My 30 year-old family sized blender had become redundant ......I never used it .....This magic bullet blender is perfect for just me.....I'm having fun with it.....who knew the instant pudding possibilities of avocado, fruit and frozen banana blended with a teaspoon of cocoa...........

I've never made pesto. I do have a blender. I have never heard of walnuts being used in pesto as I always see them making it with pine nuts on the cooking shows. t would be a nice change from tomato sauce on pasta. I make a fresh tomato sauce and put in large shrimp or prawns in it and serve over spaghetti. I don't have white wine around so I use some sort of hard liquor in it to give it flavor. I use Roma tomatoes and find they are less acidic.

My old blender still worked, it was the size of it that didn't work for me.....
