Pistou

(from saymyname’s recipe box)

Categories: French

Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 cup packed fresh basil leaf
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor.

  2. Pulse, stopping occasionally to scrape down the bowl, until finely chopped.

  3. To store: transfer to an airtight container and pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top (this will prevent it from browning); store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; stir just before using.
