You will need 2 (1 gal.) ziplock bags packed as full as you can of fresh
basil leaves, washed and drained on paper towels. Do not crush.
Peel the cloves of a large head of garlic and put in 12-14 cup food processor with
the blade in place. Add nuts, parmesan cheese,
kosher salt and pepper. Process until fine. Keep processing and slowly
pour olive oil through spout. When it becomes liquid, start adding basil
leaves alternately with rest of olive oil and continue to process until all have
been added and you have the consistency you want. Adjust seasonings if
needed. Package in 4 or 8 oz. freezer containers. I like to use jars. Freeze.
To thaw, put in refrigerator. To use, heat in microwave about 20 seconds and use
at room temperature. Stir into pasta or spread on fish or chicken and cook in oven.
Also good to dip bread in as an appetizer.
