Ingredients

2 cups Fresh Basil Leaves
4 cloves Garlic
1/4 cups Sunflower Kernels (shells Removed)
1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
1 dash Salt And Pepper, to taste
1/2 cups Olive Oil

Directions

1

Dump everything but the oil into the bowl of a food processor and process until it comes together, about six seconds or so. Using a flexible scraper, scrape down the sides of the bowl and process again for another six seconds.
2

Slowly add the oil, using only enough for its intended purpose. What does that mean? Use less oil when you are using this as a topping in let's say a pizza or on top of chicken or fish.
3

If you are using it as a dip, bread topper or in pasta, use a little more oil to create a looser consistency.
