Pesto Cubes

Bunch of fresh, rinsed and dried basil leaves

Olive oil

3 or 4 fat garlic cloves

Salt and pepper

Pack the basil leaves into a food processor, add about an inch of good olive oil, the garlic, a palm-full of salt, and some generous grindings of fresh pepper.

Process into a thick, green emulsion, adding more oil if necessary.

Pour into plastic ice cube trays and freeze.

When the cubes are frozen, pop them out and store them in freezer bags.
