Pesto

1. 1

   Put nuts, cheese and garlic in blender, cover and start blender.

2. 2

   Add oil in a thin stream and blend until mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Add parsley and basil, a few sprigs at a time, carefully pushing them down into the cutting blades (an old wooden spoon or stirrer is best for this).

4. 4

   Season with salt to taste.

5. 5

   With blender running, add 1 or 2 tablespoons boiling water to bring the mixture to a smooth, mayonnaiselike consistency.

6. 6

   The mixture should not be too runny, but it should flow down into the blades without being pushed.
