Pesto Around the World

Another wonderful delight for enlivening salads, adorning sandwiches, dressing pasta … you name it! Always sing the praises of salsa . This time, doing a song and dance routine for pesto.

Hear the word pesto and one usually always thinks Italian. Right? But different cultures have their own version of pesto. Africa. Mexico. Australia. This link is an awesome foodie find! Not only does it tell you the main ingredients in everybody's version but it introduced me to a new word. “Permaculture”.

I do enjoy making various kinds of pesto: basil, arugula, even kale. The only change I make is that I have an intolerance for raw garlic, so I have to leave that out of my preparations. Usually I will sautee the garlic in some olive oil until browned and then add that - and the cooking oil - to my pesto. It gives it a fuller, more roasted flavor, in my opinion.

Indeed. My own cooking I don't do too much. Picky family eaters. But if offered it by others, I am more than happy to partake.

Yes. Pretty much that's the basic recipe for typical Italian-style pesto. [ I watch a lot of cooking shows. :) }
