Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mortar, combine garlic and salt. Using a pestle, grind into a smooth paste (5-8 minutes).

02

Step

Add walnuts to the garlic paste. Grind until desired consistency is achieved, either coarse or smooth (5-8 minutes).

03

Step

Incorporate parsley into the mixture. Grind gently to release its aroma and blend with the walnut and garlic (4 minutes).

04

Step

Pour in lemon juice and olive oil. Stir, mash, and emulsify until a thick, well-blended mixture forms (8-10 minutes).

05

Step

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the pesto is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before chopping.
Adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.
This pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
