In a few days, we will officially leave the rainy season and enter the summer season. Also known as unbelievably hot and miserable season. This year, the year of all crazy things, the rainy season is ending a few weeks later than usual.
In order to save all my herbs, I cut them all this morning. They have been beaten so much in the torrential downpours of the last few days. I then proceeded to make 3 different batches of pesto that we will enjoy for quite some time.
My family got in the action by helping to blanch almonds and remove herbs from stems, while I shredded parmesan and prepped the remaining ingredients. A bit of herbs, a handful of nuts, some parmesan, and a clove or two of garlic. Put everything into a food processer and pulse until combined. Add in a glug of olive oil as it is running to create a beautiful sauce.
Even though we've been stuck inside, we're still having fun and getting stuff done that will help us in those hot summer days. We're all ready for pasta summer salads and lots of roasted vegetables with pesto on top.
