Marcona Almond Basil Pesto

Basil Pesto with Marcona Almonds

1/4 cup Marcona almonds (or a bit more)
1/2 to 1 clove garlic, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 to 1 tsp salt
Fresh pepper
1 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/4 cup parmesan
1/4 cup pecorino romano
1/8 cup water

Puree in a mini food processor.

Great recipe to use up fresh basil. A great EVOO is a must in my opinion.

Did you see the trick of pulling the stems of any herb through the colander holes to pull the leaves off. IT'S so fast!
