Has anyone tried making pesto with rosemary? How was your experience?

I usually make pesto using basil, but I was wondering if anyone has tried making it using rosemary as the primary ingredient. I would really appreciate any feedback on this and recipes would be most welcomed.

Has anyone tried making pesto with rosemary? How was your experience?
No, I never used rosemary always basil. Try this!





Grind the fresh rosemary, walnuts, parsley into a smooth paste and add a little olive oil.





Here is another with rosemary and spinach. Sounds good!





To make the pesto: Combine the spinach and rosemary leaves, garlic, onion, vinegar, orange juice, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until pureed. (Adjust the consistency by adding more orange juice to thin the pesto if desired.) If made in advance, store the pesto, in the refrigerator, covered with a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent the sauce from discoloring; it will keep for 1 week.


good luck!
Reply:haven't tried it yet but i'm not sure if it would work since rosemary (leaves) is kinda tough.. maybe you van just use a little of it to season your basil pesto, try tomato pesto, i think it's good..
