Basil green sauce is a classic of Italian cuisine, with a fresh and aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with many dishes. Originally from the Lazio region, it has become popular throughout the country thanks to its versatility and ease of preparation.

Preparation

STEP 1 OF 9
Place the raisins, pine nuts, peeled garlic cloves, and basil in the food processor and chop everything
STEP 2 OF 9
Ideally, you should use a stone mortar because the food processor heats what it crushes, and certain aromas will be altered
STEP 3 OF 9
Gradually add the oil, as much as the mixture can absorb
STEP 4 OF 9
Continue until you have obtained a soft and homogeneous paste
STEP 5 OF 9
Add the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste
STEP 6 OF 9
Mix very well and pour into a bowl, then add the Pernod, stirring gently
STEP 7 OF 9
IMPORTANT! Do not perform this operation in the food processor! As you may have realized, this is a variant of our pesto
STEP 8 OF 9
You will notice, however, that the taste of Pernod blends very well with the other ingredients and binds them together
STEP 9 OF 9
Excellent with fish and shellfish, for example, a shrimp appetizer
