Pesto


My favorite Pesto! 
This may look a bit chunky but that is the way I enjoy it. 
I often make it smooth as well, it just needs extra processing and it becomes awesomely smooth!

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups packed, fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1/3 cup cashews
  • 1/3 cup almonds
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced (use juice, about 1 tbsp)
  • 2-4 cloves of garlic (depending on how strong you want it)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Note: All ingredients are raw. 

Directions:
Put all ingredients in food processor, process until desired consistency, scraping sides as needed. 


The blend of all the different nuts are wonderful! This is by far, the best pesto I have come across, the taste is wonderful.

It's quite addicting with spelt bunny pretzels...300.jpg

Just dip these pretzels in the pesto, and you will surely be in heaven!
