Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 5 cups basil leaves (packed well)
- 5 teaspoons minced garlic (approximately 1 head)
- 2 to 3 habanero peppers (depending on heat level desired, seeded and stemmed)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 3/4 cup sunflower seeds (toasted)
Instruction
- Place the garlic and basil into a food processor and process until it's in paste form.
- Add the remaining ingredients and continue to process the mix, until you have a slightly grainy pesto paste.
- Use immediately, or for best flavor, allow the pesto to rest for one hour prior to use to allow the flavors to meld.
