What’s the easiest way to make pesto? Bung everything - basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, salt, pepper - in a food processor and whiz it.

So Sprout made the first fresh pesto of the year by hand. The flavor is pretty much the same as the machine version, but the texture is grainier.

Is it worth it? Not all the time, but it’s good for special occasions when you want to show how homey you are.
