- 40g grated Parmesan
- 2 garlic clove, crushed
- 40g nuts, lightly toasted
- pinch of salt
- grind of pepper
- 75ml extra virgin olive oil
- squeeze of lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Place the herbs, grated cheese, crushed garlic and the nuts (cooled, after their toasting) in a food processor. Whizz up, season and add the oil. Taste. Add more of what you fancy, and a squirt of lemon juice.
Variations
parsley, walnuts and Stilton
rocket/arugula, pine nuts and Parmesan
basil, pine nuts and Parmesan
And if you dont have Parmesan? Try Pecorino, or *whisper it* Cheddar. Any hard cheese is going to taste pretty good. And mix your herbs if you dont have enough of one type. Basil and parsley, even spinach and basil will work.
