Here is my pesto creation - all plant based of course. I came up with this recipe after a long and rather tedious day at work. I was so stuffed, I just needed to make something healthy that was quick and easy.
You can keep the pesto it in the fridge for about a week.
Ingredients:
Spinach leaves - handful of fresh leaves
Basil leaves fresh - 8-12 leaves (or more if you want)
Cashews - 1/2 cup
Nutritional yeast - 1 tablespoon
Lemon juice - 1/2 a lemon
Garlic - 1 clove crushed or 1 teaspoon minced
Mustard - like organic wholegrain or dijon. 1 teaspoon.
Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
Sea salt or rock salt for seasoning
Put all of the ingredients into your blender and blend away.
This will create the pesto. Drizzle with olive oil for extra richness.
Mix it through a pasta, salad, put on top of a potato or brush it onto a cauliflower steak. The good ole pesto is versatile and makes for quick and easy meals.
