How Do I Turn 1kg of Basil into Pesto?
I have the opportunity to buy basil for cheap, and wanted to know how I’d turn this into pesto, basically what would be the proportions in grams.
My goal is to refrigerate/freeze them for future use. (If refrigerate option, how long would it last?)
I don’t know about the quantities, recipes may vary but should be broadly available. In my experience, pesto spoils pretty quickly even in the fridge. So I would freeze it in small-ish portions if that is available to you.
An ice cube tray works well to split up the batch into manageable amounts if you’re going to freeze a bunch at once.
Another cool way if you don’t want to use ice trays is placing it in a plastic bag and separating it with folds. Ethan Chlebowski has a good demonstration here.
