The other night I had some basil to use up so I googled basil and ran with it. This is what I got
put in a blender:
basil
soaked nuts (most people use pine nuts but Matthew is alergic so I use soaked almonds)
1 clove of garlic
salt pepper
begin to blend
slowly add in olive oil
blend till smooth
I marinated some shrimp in this and then put it over angel hair pasta.

This sounds so good too! Did you just happen to have soaked almonds around? How long must a nut soak in order to be labeled "soaked"?
ReplyDeleteYes, I just happened to have a soaked nut laying around...Matthew had been in the bath for about an hour!JK....We LOVE soaked almonds. we throw them in salads and cereal and stuff. I put some to soak the night before but a couple of hours will work...they won't go prunny if they're in to long...which leads to another question, why don't pruns go prunny if they soak to long?
