Dearest Dimitri. I made your spinach pesto on the weekend. I adore it. I like it more than basil pesto. It has a wonderful flavor that I think is more appealing to more people because it doesn't have-that heavy flavor basil has and some don't like. It also love that it doesn't discolor like basil pesto, it stays a beautiful bright green for days. I hope you realize how much of a difference you have made in my home as far as cooking goes, my family thanks you too! Keep up the good work.x
YES!! I agree that it does taste better than the basil pesto, even though I love that one too!! So happy that you tried it and loved it and for your presence here. All the very best! xoxo
I like spinach pesto pesto much more the basil.My receipe is very similar to yours.I have a tip add the pesto in ice trays cover with plastic wrap and freeze.Once frozen place zip lock bag and use a few at a time when needed.Great to have on hand during the winter.
So very nice to see you back 😘. Hope your mom is recovering healthily and doing really well. You are a wonderful daughter but we missed you and your tasty recipes. Welcome back sweetie! 💗🙏👍 .
This is an amazing recipe I'd you are a breastfeeding mom! I dont hear too many people talk about this, but spinach itself can be an amazing milk boosting agent, great for smoothies, this delicious pesto (I made mine with almonds!), and of course in salad
Hi Luisa!! Yes, things are much better. I was in New York for a long time caring for my mom. She was hurt in an accident and was recovering from 2 major surgeries... She's much better now, thank God :) And I'm back to my usual schedule!! Thanks for checking up :)
Tip! Quickly blanch the spinach in hot water to get that deep green vibrant color.

Dimitra's Dishes That exactly what I’m going to do actually 😘😘How could you know my heart ☺️
GREAT IDEA BASIL ANS SPINISH....
TY for doing Spinach Pesto sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll make this soon. I'll probably freeze those in the ice trays.
Great idea! Save those Ice trays because I'm going to share a great way to store herbs using those :)
@@DimitrasDishes I use ice trays for roasted puree onions. I got the vacuum sealer too. I'm gonna buy a couple more ice trays soon.
Will be making this for my pizza and pasta.
WELCOME BACK HOPE THINGS ARE BETTER IN YOUR WORLD..
Thank you!! So much better :)
I have tried this & it tastes awesome. I even shared it with friends & they are a fan of this recipe too :)
Great idea for all the spinach in the garden. TFS!
Even better with fresh spinach :) Enjoy!
Good stuff -- I like to use pistachio nuts, but walnuts sound great as well.
Wonderful
What can I replace the Parmesan with?
I agree with using walnuts they are creamer and cheaper than pine nuts 👍
I LOVE pesto...bout to veganize this & put on pasta with Italian Beyond sausage. Mmmmmmmmm
Great! Thanks!!!
Hi. Can I remove the basil and just use spinach. Cuz here in our country it's hard to find basil leaves
I just made the pesto.S..t, SO GOOD. Thank you
Glad you liked it!!
Can I store this?
This is an amazing recipe I'd you are a breastfeeding mom! I dont hear too many people talk about this, but spinach itself can be an amazing milk boosting agent, great for smoothies, this delicious pesto (I made mine with almonds!), and of course in salad
What can I use instead parmesan cheese
kefalograviera.
How Long is the shelf life of homemade pesto?
That looks so good! Is it ok to use kosher salt, or Pink Himalayan salt? Does it make a difference?
Yes, you may use either of the two salts :)
I don't eat cheese, what can I put instead? And will it be creamy if I don't put cheese at all
The cheese rally adds so much creaminess and flavor. I don't know what else will work as a substitute...
I don't own a food processor, would a blender work?
Yes
Looks really yummy pesto
Can I use dry herbs instead?
Yaaasss I have extra spinach in the fridge
I use this same recipe but I add 4 kalamata olives.
yumm
Love kefalograviera
Very nice 👌👌 👌👌 👌👍👌 👌👌👌 👌👌 👌👌 👌👌 👌 good work
