Hola mi querida comunidad de @foodiesbeehive, saludos a todos los que disfrutan del buen comer y de la cocina hacen su pasi贸n y disfrute 鉁笍
Hoy les quiero compartir una receta que se caracteriza por ser versatil, por ser deliciosa y por ser duradera, muy facil y r谩pida de elaborar. se trata de la salsa pesto. Esta es de origen Italiano, y su nombre significa molienda o que se muele. Estos es porque tradicionalmente se prepara moliendo loss ingredientes en un mortero. Actualmente para mayor practicidad se usas procesadores de alimentaci贸n o mixer.
El pesto, me encanta, es una de las salsas que trato de tener disponible en mi nevera pues ayuda bastante al salir de apuros, debido a su versatilidad y es que en realidad queda perfecta con lo que sea. La forma cl谩sica de usarla es en pastas, pero tambi茅n queda deliciosa con pan tostado, sandwiches, aderezo para ensaladas ,galletas, pizzas...
A la hora de realizar una pesto lo m谩s importante es la calidad de los ingredientes para obtener excelentes resultados eso marcar谩 mucho la diferencia. Si esta en tus posibilidades como consejo trata de sembrar plantas arom谩ticas para cocinar, tenerlas disponibles en casa, frescas y reci茅n cosechadas es un plus incomparable. Por otro lado el aceite debe ser de calidad ya que lleva buena cantidad, el queso parmesano o pecorino le aporta un sabor delicioso y por 煤ltimo los frutos secos que esten buenos descarta los rancios o viejos, la tradicional lleva pi帽ones en Venezuela, es muy costoso y dif铆cil de encontrar, lo sustitu铆 por el Merey que aparte de delicioso tiene muchas propiedades beneficas. Esta preparaci贸n vale la pena prepararla y tenerla lista en la nevera para su uso.
Asi que Sin mas pre谩mbulos 隆iniciemos! les encantar谩 馃憣
Colocamos en un sart茅n a fuego medio bajo, el merey para tostar, apagamos y dejamos enfriar antes de procesar, importante este paso, ya que las hojas de albahaca son muy sensibles al calor y tienden a colocarse oscuras , contrario al efecto que queremos en la salsa , pues queremos obtener al final un color verde vibrante.
Llevamos el merey a la procesadora hasta que queden pulverizados, a continuaci贸n agregamos el resto de los ingredientes y vamos procesando de a toques hasta que quede homog茅neo, vamos corrigiendo textura con el aceite y sal.
Y listooooo. A disfrutar. Queda exquisita e irresistible. Es el complemento ideal para tus preparaciones. Espero les guste y les sea de utilidad mis queridos amigos. Les env铆o un fuerte abrazo, hasta la pr贸xima 馃 馃
Hello my dear community of
@foodiesbeehive, greetings to all who enjoy good food and cooking make your passion and enjoyment 鉁笍
Today I want to share with you a recipe that is characterized by being versatile, delicious and long lasting, very easy and quick to make, it is the pesto sauce. This is of Italian origin, and its name means grinding or grinding. This is because it is traditionally prepared by grinding the ingredients in a mortar. Nowadays, for greater practicality, food processors or mixers are used.
I love pesto, it is one of the sauces that I try to have available in my fridge because it helps a lot to get out of trouble, due to its versatility and it is really perfect with anything. The classic way to use it is in pastas, but it is also delicious with toasted bread, sandwiches, salad dressing, crackers, pizzas...
When making a pesto the most important thing is the quality of the ingredients to obtain excellent results that will make a lot of difference. If it is within your possibilities, as an advice, try to plant aromatic plants for cooking, having them available at home, fresh and recently harvested is an incomparable plus. On the other hand the oil must be of quality since it has a good quantity, the parmesan or pecorino cheese gives it a delicious flavor and finally the nuts that are good, discard the stale or old ones, the traditional one has pine nuts in Venezuela, it is very expensive and difficult to find, I replaced it with the Merey that apart from delicious has many beneficial properties. This preparation is worth preparing and having it ready in the fridge for use.
So without further ado let's get started! you will love it 馃憣.INGREDIENTS:
- 100 grams of basil leaves.
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 200 grams of cashews (can also be pine nuts, walnuts, almonds or any nut of your choice and accessibility)
- 100 grams of parmesan cheese
- 200 ml of extra virgin olive oil and a little more to adjust the texture according to taste.
- salt to taste
PREPARATION:
Step 1:
We place in a skillet over medium low heat, the cashew to toast, turn off and let cool before processing, important this step, as the basil leaves are very sensitive to heat and tend to be placed dark, contrary to the effect we want in the sauce, because we want to get at the end a vibrant green color.
Step 2
We take the cashews to the food processor until they are pulverized, then we add the rest of the ingredients and we process in batches until it is homogeneous, we correct the texture with the oil and salt.
And that's it. Let's enjoy. It is exquisite and irresistible. It is the ideal complement for your preparations. I hope you like it and find it useful, my dear friends. I send you a big hug, until next time 馃 馃.
