Lemon and Saffron Pesto Pesto
In the past I ran my own market stall making pesto (8 varieties) from beetroot to the basic basil. Unfortunately due to ever increasing fees and laws, combined with lack of time I decided to finish up. I was doing this before there where so many varieties on the supermarket shelves, I loved it and so did my customers, so much so that I got offered to bottle the product by a company but turned it down. Anyway here is the recipe for the Lemon and Saffron pesto.
Ingredients
325ml Oil
1g Saffron
100g Lemon
25g Thyme
100g Rockett
55g Parmesan
65g Pinenuts
Method
So you will need a food processor for this. This is a very different pesto and the flavours are very unique. It is not something you will see every day and can be a wonderful dip or accompaniment for a baked white fish like hapuka.
There are also recipes for beetroot and dill pesto, capsicum pesto, sunblushed tomato pesto (taste like bolognaise), pea and mint pesto and basil pesto.
