Instructions

  1. In a food processor (you can use a mortar and work manually) with short pulsating starts (and so we will work with all the other ingredients) grind the nuts (do not overheat the food processor, otherwise the nuts will start to release oil - the consistency of the sauce will deteriorate).
  2. Add basil there, continue the work of the combine, garlic, olive oil, salt.
  3. At the end add finely grated cheese and lemon juice.
  4. The aromatic sauce is ready. Pour into a glass jar. We store in the refrigerator no longer than 2 weeks. You can freeze. But I am sure that the jar will become empty within the first week.
