NZ Cooking Monster

I have been told in this day and age it is rare for a 21 year old female to find cooking such a hobby, so i decided to write this blog to keep record of my experiences and cooking conquests. Im definatly big on simple but good meals, and of a decent size! Anything I post up will more than likely be good simple and as Kiwi as can be :-) Hopefully along the way I may inspire other to give it a go, who can resist good food...apart from Posh Spice and Nicole Richie!

Basil Pesto

This is quite a traditional Pesto Recipe that I have used for quite some time. Its a spread like pseto which is great on toasted ciabatta!

Ingredients:
1 C Basil Leaves (I use a whole living herbs plant)
4 Cloves Garlic- Chopped or crushed
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
60gms Pine Nuts
1/2 C Olive oil
60gms Parmesan Cheese - grated
  1. Place first 4 ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until finely chopped
  2. Add olive oil and blend until combined
  3. Add parmesan cheese until you have reached the desired consistency, I prefer it quite smooth.
