How to Make FRESH BASIL PESTO Like an Italian

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2024
  • Fresh basil pesto is so easy to make and one of the most versatile condiments in Italian cooking. It originated in the region of Liguria and when made fresh the salty flavour just dances on your tastebuds.
    When making your own pesto at home, the trick is to use fresh basil leaves - either from your own garden, the farmers market or your neighbours!
    Be warned, once you start blending the basil, your kitchen will be filled with the most delicious aroma and as soon as you combine the pine nuts and parmigiano you will not be able to resist a few scoops almost right away!

    I once made pesto myself, and I never bought a jar of pesto anymore. And I like to clean the mixer with my fingers. Finger licking good!

      I saw a great tip about freezing pesto - pour it flat onto a cookie tray between 2 sheets of baking paper (parchment), then cut the frozen slab into 4 and put them into a plastic freezer bag (still with their sheets of paper) then you can easily get as much as you want - sometimes you just want a little chip to put as a garnish onto some soup etc etc. It really works and is a better way to freeze it IMO! Either way, you're right - it freezes really well which is lucky cos I grew a heap of basil. I LOVE pesto!

    This video made me get into farming my own little garden. Started with Genovese basil which I didn't know is so easy to grow here in the tropics, they grow like weeds and now I have an endless supply and pesticide free basil, they grow so fast I have more than I know what to do with the rest. With Italian parsley, I have little luck, many did not germinate and the handful that did is still at 4 inches tall like they are stunted for a month now. Tomato Roma, I have better luck, they are now flowering, hope they taste good.

I think almonds have too strong of a flavor compared to cashews and this competes with the taste of the basil too much whereas with cashews I get more of the taste of the basil coming through.

    Always enjoy Vincenzo’s videos
    Couple of suggestions ... not all basil is good...even in Genova , we generally have to visit several shops before we find the best for making pesto
    Also, the locals like to use Sardo cheese , or some blend Sardo and parmigianno
    Lastly, in Genova you will find the pine nuts added to the blender last,,this gives coarser chop to the pesto and a more delicate mouth feel to the palate. You want to taste the pinioli
    Really enjoy your passion and energy in making these videos... and we can always learn more

Once they’re frozen I put the cubes in a Ziploc so that I can enjoy my pesto all winter long.😊. I’ve never tried it on salmon, but definitely on pizza and in pasta, i’ll look for your recipe to cook it with my salmon. Thank you for the video, it confirmed that what I’m doing is correct, ha ha.

    I love it, pesto is the easiest, tastiest pasta sauce. And as there is no home without a mortar (molcajete, from nahutl), I just did it the old way. It was amazing and creamy, except I used queso enchilado, dry, crumbly and salty cheese instead Parmigiano and chilly flakes instead black pepper.

    • @vincenzosplate
      @vincenzosplate  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊 While I'm glad you enjoyed making pesto in the traditional way, using queso enchilado instead of Parmigiano and chilly flakes instead of black pepper may create a slightly different flavor profile. Nevertheless, experimentation is key in cooking, so keep exploring! 🍴

    This pesto is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your talents. Here is a recipe from the Blue Ridge mountains for back yard pesto... 1 cup dandelion leaves, 2 plantain leaves, two lemon mint leaves, one clove wild garlic, 1 to 2 tbsp feta or Parnassian cheese, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tbsp walnut. You can add parsley and basil if you like. What I love about pesto is you can create so many flavors together. Just add what you like. I loved this video.

    As always, Vincezo is amazing. I love how relaxed he is. Just made his tomatoe sauce today actually.
    When I lived in Greece, I would use Greek walnuts instead of pine nuts and Kefolatiri cheese (pecorino) and substitute half the basil for parsley. Both basil and parsley grow wonderfully in Greece. The colour is amazing and it's a great alternative and worth a try. It's is actually my go to pesto now but you can't beat the real deal, beautiful shown and demonstrated here by the lovely Vincenzo!

    In the Philippines, we use pesto with a local bread called "pandesal" which has soft, crispy crust, airy or pillowy popularly served at breakfast. You toast the pandesal, layer it with what is locally called "kesong puti" or a white cheese made from carabao's milk, then the pesto and topped with a salad tomato. Totally yum!!!
