Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sun-Dried Tomato Selection 🍅Choose high-quality, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for maximum flavor depth and a more luxurious texture in your pesto.
- Toasting Nuts Technique 🥜Lightly toast almonds and cashews before blending to enhance their natural oils and bring out a deeper, nuttier flavor profile.
- Texture Balancing Trick 🥄Add olive oil gradually while blending to control the consistency, ensuring a smooth but not overly runny pesto.
- Acid Balance Mastery 🍋Balance the richness of the nuts and Parmesan by adding lemon juice and balsamic vinegar in small increments, tasting as you go.
- Storage Pro Tip 🧊Store the pesto in an airtight container with a thin layer of olive oil on top to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness for up to a week in the refrigerator.
