Meyer Lemon Basil Pesto

1. 1

   Place all dry ingredients (basil, garlic, lemon peel, cheese, almonds, salt and pepper) in a food processor. Top with oils and lemon juice. Process until smooth (texture will be grainy, but there will be no big chunks left).

2. 2

   Refrigerate in an airtight container when not using. Depending on how fresh your ingredients are, I have had this keep in the fridge for anywhere from 1-4 weeks. Great to use as a sandwich spread, pasta sauce, or mix with butter or mayo as a condiment.

3. 3

   If you do not have access to Meyer lemons or Meyer lemon oil, you can substitute regular lemons and lemon-infused oil. You can also substitute different nuts (walnuts or pine nuts) for the almonds-I use them because I like the mild flavor and they tend to be the least expensive in our area.
