• 1 regular tomato, sliced in 12
• 1 mozzarella ball, sliced in 12
• either fresh basil or dried italian herbs
• pinch of garlic powder, salt and pepper
• I often add olives and/or 1/2 avocado
• good drizzle of olive oil
The Italians don’t use pesto for caprese! They use fresh basil leaves! We always have a plant from our supermarket on the kitchen window sill.
Pesto is basically basil leaves, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic cloves to taste, grated pecorino cheese (we use any hard cheese that’s knocking around in the fridge), and pine nuts (plain or briefly toasted in a nonstick pan).
I eyeball the amounts, but you can’t really ruin this. You just chuck everything in your blender and go for it.
