At least that's what the recipe states. Saw this in a magazine in my doctor's office. Doesn't get much easier than this. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons natural almonds |
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves |
1/2 clove garlic |
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. In small, microwave-safe bowl or cup, cook almonds on High 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned in center. Cool slightly.
2. In food processor with knife blade attached, pulse almonds, basil, garlic, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until finely chopped.
3. With processor running, gradually pour in olive oil and water until blended.
