Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put all the basil and pine nuts in the mortar, grind it until it is nice and smooth.
- 2
Slice the olives and the piece of garlic in little pieces and grind ad well, put in the cheese too.
- 3
Now add the vinegar, I prefer balsamic vinegar, but it's up to you. Also add some pepper and a little olive oil. Grind it one more time to make sure there are no big olive chunks any more and everything is mixed well.
- 4
This is a optional step; put any bread you like in the oven. Before putting it in the oven, put some olive oil on top of the bread pieces. Heat the oven on 180°F Celcius and remove the bread from the oven when they are nice, golden and crunchy. Smear the pesto on top of the toast. Bon apetit!

My Simple Pesto Recipe My Simple Pesto Recipe
This is my basic recipe, it's easy, not expensive and tastes wonderful. I created it to keep cost down in a restaurant and liked it so much I have used it in every restaurant after.Note: Traditional pesto recipes call for pine nuts, I do not use them as some people have nut allergies and for the expense I feel they do not add much flavor. I also use the stems if they are green and soft as they add flavor, nutrients and volume without compromising texture (do not waste them by throwing them out). - See more at: http://www.kidkulinaire.com/school/frankskitchen/cooking-with-frank/item/436-pesto-sauce#sthash.7nlnPv0N.dpuf

My friend Petra showed her purple basil and I was so intrigued. I actually never saw it before. I grew some and am now harvesting my first bit. I thought this would be fun and whimsical to change from the norm. I added a small amount of shallot and different cheeses to further have fun and flavor in a traditional recipe. It still turns out mostly green.lol
