The following pesto — created for Sherried Parsnip Soup with Hazelnut Pesto — would be great on pasta (use about 3/4 cup for 1 pound pasta, thinning the pesto with some of the pasta cooking water), grilled fish and meats, or vegetables. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Ingredients:
1 cup hazelnuts (about 4 1/2 ounces), toasted lightly and skinned
2 cups packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves (about 1 large bunch), washed and dried
2 large garlic cloves
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons hazelnut oil if desired
freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. In a food processor blend together pesto ingredients with pepper and salt to taste until smooth. Pesto keeps, its surface covered with plastic wrap, chilled 1 week or frozen 1 month.
