BASIL AND PECAN PESTO



Basil and Pecan Pesto image

I was craving a light and savory pesto one summer night, but didn't want to run to the store for the only missing ingredient: pine nuts. This recipe is a combination of different pesto recipes. The lime juice livens this pesto up in an interesting way. I like to use this pesto for pasta, but it easily takes the place of any classic pesto. I also use it for a topping on eggplant sandwiches, a spread for wraps, or a dip for pizza or veggies.

BASIL PECAN PESTO



BASIL PECAN PESTO image

My lovely cousin Carol sent me home from her house in Tampa with the most delicious pesto. We made it last as long as possible, and then I decided to make my own version of hers. I think I did a passable job! It is different, but still delicious! We love it on pizza with mushrooms and onions or pasta! I added a little lemon juice to keep the color bright. I also have been told that parsley does the same thing, so I added some of that too.

Each year our family receives 25 pounds of pecans from a friend. With that many nuts, it requires some imagination to create different recipes in order not to tire of their goodness.

MASHAMA BAILEY'S PECAN PESTO



Mashama Bailey's Pecan Pesto image

This recipe, from the chef Mashama Bailey of the Grey in Savannah, Ga., came to The Times in 2015. The pesto's roots are Italian, of course, but its flavor and texture nod first to the South, with pecans swapped in to the paste in place of more traditional pine nuts, and then to the wider world, with the inclusion of both Thai and opal basils to the mix. But use whatever basil you can find. Ms. Bailey's cooking is more about bending the rules than enforcing them.
