Basil Pistou
  1. If you want to preserve the bright green basil color for leftovers, see the notes below on How to Blanch Basil*. Otherwise, go to Step 2.

  2. Using a small blender or immersion blender, blend the olive oil, garlic and salt. Then add the basil leaves and pulse until a chunky sauce forms. Make sure not to over-blend. Or, grind the ingredients in a mortar and pestle until a chunky sauce forms.
