Pesto for Henry Schwarcz


Glass windowdoors open right off our kitchen onto a garden of basil, mint and flat parsley. When Molly Ann and Henry came to visit, we didn't cook at all. We simply feasted on anona, that mystical white manna of a fruit, bright pink dragon fruits, and a bounty of vegetables. The one food that was at all prepared was this pesto.
Buzz in the food processor, equal quantities by weight, of
fresh basil leaves
pine nuts
walnuts
olives
hot pepper
Season with olive oil, lemon and salt.
