1 1/2 cup basil, globe, fresh
1 1/2 cup basil, holy (krapau)
3 garlic clove
2 tsp chives, chopped
1 1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup parmesan, grated
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper, black
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 cup chicken, leftover, minced
2 anchovy fillets (opt)
In a blender or food processor combine the basils, garlic, chives,
cheese, anchovies, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Blend
at low speed until a puree consistency is achieved. Drizzle in the
remaining oil, blending at low speed until the oil is completely
incorporated. Add the chicken and process no more than five seconds.
Add the pecans and process no more than another five seconds; the
chicken and pecans should still be identifiable. Serve as a sauce
for pasta salad or hot pasta.
