Rawsome Pesto!

Traditional Pesto uses Parmesan cheese. We’ve replaced the cheesy component with nutritional yeast which has a lovely sharp cheesy flavour, It’s not technically raw, but it’s great for vegans as a source of B Vitamins. Great stirred through Zucchini Pasta and on crackers (see recipe here http://rawambitiongoddess.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/rawsome-cheesy-buckwheat-hemp-crackers.html) 

2 Cups Basil

1 Cup Spinach

½ Cup Walnuts

½ Cup Hemp Seeds

4 cloves garlic

2/3 Cup Nutritional Yeast

2 tsp Lemon Juice

¼ Cup Olive Oil

Salt to taste

Method:

Place all ingredients except olive oil in a food processor and pulse till everything is chopped but a little chunky.

Slowly add the olive oil, you can adjust this to make it firmer or smoother as desired.
