various implementations for Our Signature Pesto |
♥♥♥
thing that would never failed in our house.
every person in the family loves it... and the best part it you can store it on the freezer for 1 month !
our signature pesto is a bit unique. We use local ingredients. Yup.. instead using basil.. we use Indonesia basil a.k.a KEMANGI.
what's the different? the scents are slightly different... (also the price hahaha).
main ingredients :
- Indonesian's Basil a.k.a Kemangi
- Coriander Leaves.
the comparation is 1:1. I never measure exactly but it was like " 1 ikat dan 1 ikat".
- medium
I finished like 3/4 bottle of olive oil... and for baking it's like one butter.
Storage :
I put it on glass jars. divided into small portions. jam jar sized.
Put sticker on the top of the lid that showed the exp.date.

- fridge
about 1 week but keep on checking because it contains no preservatives.
- frezer
How to make :
basically chopped everything and put it together.
I put it all in my hand mixer and blend it all. If you have food processor the texture could be slightly rough also good.
Also I didn't put salt or pepper on this stage.
Optional :
- garlic
sometimes I put some garlic inside the pesto. some I meant like more than 5 garlics. But I prefer fresh garlic when I'm cooking because it has toasted flavor.
- Almond grounds
I always have this on my cupboard. It's pretty hard to look in Indonesia because it ain't our common meals... but yeah you can find it on upper class food store... or online... or my favorite store called Kemchicks. Why? because they have local products and some unique items in small packages.
- tomato
- parmesan
works on :
- bread spread
- pasta.
after the pasta boiled. cook it like fried rice. so it's not pour it, ok!
first is chopped garlic... then pasta... spread almond... salt and pepper... cut tomatoes... VOILA. served it with parmesan. I'm hungry.
- chicken.
- ocean fish
- fried rice
have fun trying !
