Pesto was invented in Italy and can be used for warm or cold pastas.

Ingredients

2 tbsp Golden raisins
1/2 cup Stock
1 clove Garlic, crushed
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Blanched and ground almonds
3 tbsp Chopped fresh oregano
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Paprika
 Salt to taste
3 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Soak the raisins in the stock in advance. Saute the garlic in the oil. Add the raisins, almonds, oregano, cumin, paprika, and salt. Just as you remove the mixture from the heat, add the parmesan.

Cook's Notes

Pesto goes well with seafood or can be added to a boring soup to give it more personality. Pesto will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
