Place nuts in a small skillet and brown over medium heat for two to three minutes. Wash basil and parsley thoroughly. Wrap in paper towels and dry well.
Start the processor and drop garlic through feed tube. Process until minced. Add nuts, basil, parsley and cheese. Process until fine, about 15 seconds.
Drizzle oil and tomato juice through the feed tube while the machine is running. Process until blended. Season to taste.
Tips:
When fresh basil is expensive, use a combination of basil and fresh baby spinach. It works perfectly! Freeze pesto in ice cube trays. Transfer cubes to a re-sealable plastic freezer bag and store in the freezer. Each cube contains two tablespoons pesto. Add a cube of pesto to your favorite pasta sauce, soup, salad or vegetarian stew.
Notes:
Pesto keeps four to five days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to two months.
