great way to use up the basil
1. Toast nuts over medium high heat for 1-3 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool.
2. Place cooled nuts in a food processor and puls 2-3 times. Add basil and pulse a few more times. Add lemon juice and pulse again. Add olive oil, a little at a time while running the food processor. Scrape down the sides then process until puréed.
3. Place mixture in a quart size freezer bag. Seal bag most of the way then press out as much air as possible. Seal completely and freeze. Will keep up to 6 months.
4. To serve, remove pesto from the freezer and thaw, sealed in the fridge for several hours. When thawed place in food processor. Add 2 tablespoons chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Process 30-45 seconds or until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
To thaw more quickly place in a bowl of warm water. Not too hot.
