Method

  • 1. To make the pesto, put the basil leaves, pecan nuts and garlic into a food processor. Whilst blending add oil iuntil it reaches the desired consistency.

  • 2. Slice the baguette and toast each side under the grill.

  • 3. Spread the pesto onto the bread, add a couple of strips of tomato, then, using a potato peeler shave the cheese and add a shaving to each bit of bread.

  • 4. Enjoy!!!!!

    • Tips

    • Getting the right consistency for the pesto takes a bit of practice, but it's all about the oil. Add it gradually and stop when the pesto looks slightly bitty, because you don't want it to be green mush!!!!
