Thai Basil Pesto

I LOVE this pesto. I grew lots of thai basil and wanted to try something different and found this recipe. It’s great on rice noodles, sauteed with Chicken, prawns or whatever you fancy!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups packed Thai basil leaves

  • ½ cup dry roasted peanuts

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • ½ inch fresh ginger, roughly chopped

  • 2 tsp fish sauce

  • 2 tbsp lime juice

  • 1-2 jalapenos, halved

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place basil, peanuts, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice and jalapenos in a food processor.

  2. Pulse a few times to roughly chop.

  3. Turn the food processor on and, while it's running, drizzle in olive oil. Process until smooth.

  4. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
