Notes
Tahini pesto can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Basil tends to lose it’s color and can start to turn black with exposure to air. Keeping it in an air-tight container will help with this.
You can freeze tahini pesto for later use. One of the best ways to freeze is to pour into ice cube molds. Freeze until solid and then store the cubes in an freezer safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
