I am not vegan, but like to cook healthfully and I believe this is better than the pestos I have had that do contain cheese. Give it a try. Ingredients:
4 cups spinach leaves (one large bag, or may sub. basil) |
1 cup almonds (toasted or untoasted) |
2 garlic cloves |
2 tablespoons miso |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, also known as brewer's yeast |
1/2 cup olive oil |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In your food processor, place the almonds and garlic cloves. Chop until a course grind is achieved.
2. Add spinach by the handful and continue to work until a paste forms.
3. Add miso, white wine vinegar and nutritional yeast.
4. Stream in olive oil while processor runs until desired consistency is achieved.
5. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
6. Serve immediately or warmed over any pasta.
