Since our crop of basil is increasingly at risk of suffering from frost damage, we took the opportunity to make pesto sauce!
Ms. Lucy, Malachi, and Brian select the best leaves. We feed the rest to the chickens.
Malachi washes the basil leaves.
The basil is ready to go.
Walter, Malachi, and Brian peel garlic and compost the skins.
The garlic is peeled and ready.
Walter adds the basil to the food processor.
Brian grinds pepper. We also added salt and olive oil.
Once the ingredients have been mashed up into a sauce, we added them to cooked pasta. Typically pine nuts and Parmesan cheese are added to pesto. We didn't add the nuts because of allergy concerns. We didn't add the cheese because the sauce stores better without it. It was still tasty!
