Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Borage Pesto Sauce.
Step 1
Start by giving your borage leaves a good wash to remove any dirt or impurities, then dry them thoroughly.
Step 2
Next, grab a dry skillet and roast your pumpkin seeds over medium heat for about 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn a lovely light brown.
Step 3
Once they’re toasted to perfection, take them off the heat and let them cool down.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! In a food processor, combine the borage leaves, those delicious roasted pumpkin seeds, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a clove of garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
As you blend the mixture, slowly drizzle in olive oil until it transforms into a smooth, creamy paste.
Step 6
Feel free to adjust the olive oil to achieve your preferred consistency.
Step 7
Once your pesto is ready, transfer it to a clean jar and pour a little extra olive oil on top to create a protective layer.
Step 8
This simple step helps keep your pesto fresh and vibrant.
Step 9
Store it in the refrigerator, and you’ll have a delightful homemade treat that lasts up to a week.
Step 10
Enjoy the burst of flavors in your dishes!.
