Preparation steps

1.

For the parsley pesto, rinse the parlsey, pat dry, remove the leaves from the stems, and finely chop. Peel and finely dice the shallots. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a pan, and sauté the shallots until soft. Cool the shallots. Puree the shallots and parsley with half of the remaining oil (or crush in a mortar), then stir in the remaining oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

2.

For the basil pesto, crush the basil, pine nuts, and garlic in a large mortar. Gradually incorporate the salt and the cheese. Mix in the oil, by the spoonful, until a thick pesto has formed. Season to taste with pepper. Place in a glass jar, cover with a little olive oil, and seal. This will last in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
