I prefer the taste of pecans over the pine nuts usually called for in pesto recipes. I developed this recipe over a summer of trial and error and prefer it to all other pesto recipes!

BASIL PECAN PESTO



BASIL PECAN PESTO image

My lovely cousin Carol sent me home from her house in Tampa with the most delicious pesto. We made it last as long as possible, and then I decided to make my own version of hers. I think I did a passable job! It is different, but still delicious! We love it on pizza with mushrooms and onions or pasta! I added a little lemon juice to keep the color bright. I also have been told that parsley does the same thing, so I added some of that too.

BASIL AND PECAN PESTO



Basil and Pecan Pesto image

I was craving a light and savory pesto one summer night, but didn't want to run to the store for the only missing ingredient: pine nuts. This recipe is a combination of different pesto recipes. The lime juice livens this pesto up in an interesting way. I like to use this pesto for pasta, but it easily takes the place of any classic pesto. I also use it for a topping on eggplant sandwiches, a spread for wraps, or a dip for pizza or veggies.

MASHAMA BAILEY'S PECAN PESTO



Mashama Bailey's Pecan Pesto image

This recipe, from the chef Mashama Bailey of the Grey in Savannah, Ga., came to The Times in 2015. The pesto's roots are Italian, of course, but its flavor and texture nod first to the South, with pecans swapped in to the paste in place of more traditional pine nuts, and then to the wider world, with the inclusion of both Thai and opal basils to the mix. But use whatever basil you can find. Ms. Bailey's cooking is more about bending the rules than enforcing them.

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small clove garlic
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
1 cup fresh opal basil leaves (or substitute more basil)
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan
Salt

Steps:

  • Put garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to break it into smaller pieces.
  • Add basil and pecans to the processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil and purée until mixture is mostly smooth.
  • Transfer pesto to a bowl and stir in grated cheese. Season to taste with salt.
