      Why would you use this as a sponsor. It's such blatant consumerism for the sake of consumption. Just spend money to get junk every month you have no use for, otherwise you would have actually bought it for yourself. 🤮 Make your own financial choices people but you won't find any satisfaction in this kind of retail therapy.

    This video made me realize that there's two different Ragusea's. One who speaks very clearly as a teacher, and one who speaks moreso as a learner. A lot of older videos had a clear Teacher Mode vibe, because they were just recipes he has done multiple times and is well versed in. Whereas a lot of newer videos are unconsciously from the "I am just telling you about this thing I'm not super familiar with" vibe. This one made me notice it because he so clearly is speaking with experience, no doubt given his Italian background.
    I love both Ragusea's, and I imagine it's much more difficult to make teacher-mode videos, but I do prefer ones where he has clear authority, cuz I love how he explains things!

    Personally, I swear by a few drops of fresh lemon juice to keep my Pesto green longer, and the slight flavor really compliments it as well. It's an easier way to stabilize the color. And if you really want to super-charge the green color, use about 10 - 20% baby spinach mixed with the basil. It adds a lot of vitamins, too!

To me that is one of the best things a cook could understand and what many food youtubers miss out.

    Pesto is probably one of my favourite foods of all time. We used to make it all the time when we grew basil in our garden. I haven't grown basil in years, so I miss fresh pesto so much. I wish science could come up with a way to make jarred pesto that isn't yucky. I still buy it because it's better than nothing (barely) and helps to ease the craving for pesto. But I swear the jarred pesto is like 90% salt and 10% unknown brown stuff.

Used parmigiano reggiano and pistachios instead of peccorino and pine nuts. It was delicious. Also did the blanching trick and it worked perfectly! The leftovers were green days later. Excellent recipe!

  • @linuscracktips4986
    @linuscracktips4986 3 года назад +6

    Great video, Adam! FYI the optimal way to use the mortar using your whole forearm stength for it. The mortar's top should be pushing against the palm of your hand with your wrist being straight and your forearm doing the work, and you should place a finger along it's shaft to stabilise it while grinding. It does not matter much in this recipe, but it will save you from a lot of wrist pain if you ever want to crush finer ingredients.

    Hey Adam. I've been thinking recently how it's unnatural or at least probably not very good to be eating meat every. Single. Mealtime. So I'm really glad you uploaded this video. I want to try a few dinners that don't use meat. I think I'll go through your backlog and find some more to try. But I would definitely love if you made more "simple, easy, no meat meals" videos. Thanks!

      hey, yeah hes actually mentioned that he and his family eat meatless most days, and hes talked about wanting to do more meatless stuff but worrying that it wont get as many views etc. hes done a few more recently tho anyways. i also have those same sort of thoughts and i think more people now do, especially if you dont count vegetarians, by which i mean that i think nowadays, theres an increasing number of meat eaters who make efforts to make less meat (but not fully stop). i can def recommend learning the basics of stirfrying, u can make a lot of combinations of different stirfried vegetables and its quite nice, as well as stir fried rice or noodles without meat. i do make meat stirfries too but mostly vegetarian, or sometimes when i use meat ill do it more as a seasoning in a small portion

    Interesting trick on blanching the Basil. I make a huge batch of pesto in the fall and freeze it in little plastic containers like what salad dressing comes in when you order takeout. That way I can have homemade pesto all winter and spring. But it's always off color and I thought it was just something I had to live with. I'm going to try the blanching trick!

    Good tip: blanch the greens and add lemon juice, then refrigerate the pesto. It'll brighten and preserve the color well. I make a spinach walnut pesto this way and it'll hold its color for a couple weeks. Just place the jar in a bowl of hot water if the fats solidify.

    Basil pesto is one of a handful of foods I couldn't live without (bacon is also in this category). This is the type of recipe where I like to use the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus food processor (which is also great for making aioli/mayonnaise). True, it won't turn the pine nuts into a paste but it does a good enough job and I find it is easier and less messy than the traditional method documented in this video.
