Basil & Pine Nuts Miso Pesto
If you can’t have any ingredients, use alternatives! That’s how I have been inventing new food. When I tried to make ‘Shiso’ flavoured miso paste and couldn’t find 'Shiso', I used fresh Basil leaves. Thinking of ‘Pesto Genovese’, I used Pine Nuts instead of Walnuts. OMG!!! Miso, Basil and Pine Nuts created a new flavour. What would you use this paste for?
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Using a sauce pan or toaster oven, roast/toast Pine Nuts until aromatic and nicely browned. Allow them cool, then coarsely crush using Suribachi or mortar & pestle. Alternatively you can place toast Pine Nuts in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
* Step 2
Add other ingredients and mix well. The amount of Basil Leaves is up to your preference. You can add as much as you want.
