The term "pesto" is the Italian definition of a sauce made from vegetables which are not pureed but crushed in a "pestle”, whereby the taste of the raw ingredients is not dispersed through cooking. In this case the tomatoes, picked at their utmost point of ripeness, are crushed with basil, typical Sicilian almonds, garlic of Nubia (Sicilian village specialized in the cultivation of this vegetable), salt and pepper. The result is a rich and intense taste albeit delicate, where the typical Mediterranean flavors of Italy are concentrated and enhanced.
