Step by step recipe

Roast 100 g pine nuts in a frying pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until golden.

Let cool.

Pour 80 g olive oil into the bowl of a blender, followed by the pine nuts, and blend.

Add sorrel leaves, 3 g vitamin C, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 100 g Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano), salt and pepper.

Blend again...

...until smooth, adjusting the amount of olive oil if necessary.

Check the seasoning and your sorrel pesto is ready.

Remarks

Vitamin C isn't essential, but it's very useful if you want to keep a beautiful green color, as sorrel quickly oxidizes and turns brown.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, in a closed container.
