Directions

Two different methods are given because the blender purees better when a liquid base is included, whereas the processor needs to chop the solids before liquid is added.
Blender method: Puree the garlic, parsley, and basil with 1/4 cup of oil.
Add more oil through the feed hole as necessary to make a sauce texture.
Stop the motor to scrape down the sides of the blender once.
Processor method: Chop the garlic, parsley, and basil fine.
Slowly pour 1/4 cup of oil down the feed tube, adding more as needed to make a sauce texture.
Stop the motor to scrape down the sides of the bowl 2 or 3 times.
