Join Andy Baraghani in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's very best pesto. The key for this classic pesto recipe is to add the basil at the very end instead of blending everything all at once. That way the basil doesn’t get bruised or lose its flavor and maintains its vibrant green color.

@Astronometric 4 года назад

The mortar and pestle are used in the wrong way here. When doing pesto you should never beat the basil, instead it should be broken by using the friction generated by rotative movements of the the pestle against the walls of the mortar. In this way the fibers of the leaves will be broken in a different way and it will incorporate more air. Also, waaaaaaay to much oil.

the mortar pesto would have been more creamy had he: 1. pounded the pine nuts longer, 2. pounded the basil a lot more, 3. used less oil. The basil/pine nuts/parm has a ton of natural oil. You can use barely any olive oil, otherwise it dominates the taste of the basil.

The butter somehow seems sacrilegious to me. But since I make pesto without parmagiano reggiano, I probably shouldn't say anything. (I was vegan previously. Now, while I eat dairy, I can't eat aged cheeses due to migraines. I also don't really like the taste of dairy now after being vegan for so long.)

Substitute 1/4 cup of the oil for lemon juice. It's friggin amazing. It brightens up the flavor profile so it isn't as heavy and oily, and it pairs beautifully with the basil. The chemical reaction also really pops the green so you don't get a super dark pesto.

On the Italia Squisita channel, they say that a lot of mortar and pestle sets have a pestle whose smashing head is too small for the mortar. The result is a slower, less even grind. I think it's mentioned specifically in one of their pesto demonstrations, but it's in a few videos.
