Basil Pesto

Basil Pesto

3 cups fresh basil, straight from my garden
4 garlic cloves minced
3/4 olive oil, more or less
3 raw tomatillos chopped fine

I was looking on youtube and a video suggested whirring up the garlic with olive oil first, then I added the chopped tomatillos which were raw. I added basil and olive oil till I ran out and the pesto was smooth. The tomatillos were a welcome addition and whirring the garlic with olive oil first helped disperse the garlic. I added grated asiago cheese after plating. Pesto is always a treat.
