Basil green sauce is a classic of Italian cuisine, with a fresh and aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with many dishes. Originating in the Lazio region, it has become popular throughout the country thanks to its versatility and ease of preparation. Fresh, fragrant basil is combined with pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and Parmigiano cheese to create a creamy, flavorful sauce. The sultana raisins add a light sweetness, while Pernod lends a liqueur-like touch. Basil green sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, making it perfect to prepare ahead for meals. Try it as a condiment for grilled vegetable side dishes or as a topping for crostini and bruschetta.
Put the raisins, pine nuts, peeled garlic cloves and basil in the food processor and chop everything
Actually, it would be best to have a stone mortar, because the food processor heats what it crushes and some aromas will be altered
Add the oil little by little, as much as the mixture can absorb
Continue until you have obtained a soft, homogeneous mixture
Add the Parmesan, salt and pepper
Mix very well and pour into a bowl, then add the Pernod, stirring gently
IMPORTANT! Do not do this step in the food processor! As you will have understood, it is a variation of our pesto
You will notice, however, that the flavor of Pernod goes very well with that of the other ingredients and binds them together
Excellent with fish and shellfish, for example a shrimp starter
Immersion Blender
Bowl
Knife
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days
Basil green sauce is a fresh and tasty condiment ideal for accompanying meats, grilled vegetables or as a base for bruschetta.
