Ingredients Basil, garlic, basil oil, pine nuts, cream cheese.

1) Finely slice a good handful of fresh basil leaves and add to a mortar bowl.

2) Sautee 1 clove of garlic in basil oil and add to the mortar bowl along with a pinch of salt and a handful of pine nuts.

I served this with Fudge's cheese straws with mature cheddar and black pepper.
