This is a pesto free of garlic!
The fine citrussy note of the leaves would dissapear when garlic is added.
My huge pot of lemon balm on the balcony just had 40 % lost of its stems, but more needed to go.
Next step Pesto.
I harvested enough to get 40 g of leaves together after ripping them off the stems. With that I needed 40 g of fresh toasted pine nuts.
Grated Grana Padano, juice and zest of 1 lemon, salt and pepper and a good gluck of olive oil.
That all went in my Thermomix to be blended to a pesto. Filled in some jars and ready to be eaten with little dumplings.
Ingredients:
40 g lemon balm leaves
40 g fresh pan toasted pine nuts
1 lemon zest and juice
40 g Grana Padano grated
Salt, pepper
Olive oil
