Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 6 piece of Portobelo Mushrooms
  • 30 g Pine Nuts
  • 50 g Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 1 piece of Garlic Clove
  • 10 g Basil Leaves
  • 50 g Lorenzo No.3 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 60 g Cornish Sea Salt & Pepper

Method

  • Step 1

    Place the basil leaves and pine nuts into a food processor and pulse several times.

  • Step 2

    Add the garlic and parmesan cheese and pulse more. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula.

  • Step 3

    Slowly add the olive oil in a steady small stream while the processor is running to help it emulsify and help keep the olive oil from separating.

  • Step 4

    Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  • Step 5

    Gently wash and dry Portobelo mushrooms. Trim the very bottom ends of mushrooms, leaving stems intact.

  • Step 6

    Cut into thin slices; arrange on a platter so they overlap slightly.

  • Step 7

    Add the pesto over the mushrooms and finish decorating with shaved parmesan and roasted pine nuts.
