Traditional pesto is made with basil, but you can use all kinds of different greens. Chef Tal Ronnen uses arugula to give a peppery kick. If you can't find arugula, use spinach. From The Conscious Cook cookbook. Ingredients:
1/4 cup pine nuts |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups coarsely chopped arugula, stems included |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes |
sea salt |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients except the oil in a food processor and pulse several times.
2. Continue to blend as you slowly pour in the oil in a thin stream.
3. Use in sandwiches, pasta, rice, salad dressings, etc.
4. Enjoy!
