-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 ounces pinoli -- pine nuts
3 small heads garlic
2 large sun-ripened tomatoes -- blanched, peeled, seeded, and
chopped
1 small bunch basil
1 small bunch parsley
leaves of a stalk of celery
Olive oil -- salt, and pepper to taste
Mince the herbs. Remove the skins from the garlic cloves. Grind the pine nuts
and garlic in a mortar with the tomatoes, work in the herbs, and continue
grinding until you have a smooth paste. Check seasoning, work enough olive oil
into the mixture to transform it into a smooth sauce, and you're ready to use
it over pasta, or to serve it with boiled or grilled [favorites].
A little goes quite a ways; keep the remainder in a jar in the refrigerator.

Sicilian Pesto Sauce, or Pesto alla Siciliana: Almost everyone is familiar with
Pesto alla Genovese, the green garlic-and-basil sauce that's one of the symbols
of Ligurian cuisine. The verb pestare means "to stomp on," or to crush, and
therefore the word pesto describes a process more than a product. Indeed, pesto
alla genovese is made by grinding the ingredients in a mortar. So is Pesto alla
Siciliana, which is made with tomatoes rather than basil.
