@thrivingonplants: Homemade Pesto 🌿 It only requires a few simple ingredients and the flavourful is truly unbeatable!! My garden has been overflowing with basil lately, which means plenty of homemade pesto and easy pasta nights 😌 I promise you, once you make your own there's really no going back. [Serves: 4, I halved the recipe in the video to make a smaller serving though!] Ingredients 2 garlic cloves, peeled ¼ tsp sea salt, adjust to taste 2 packed cups fresh basil leaves 2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted on a dry pan until golden ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil Optional: dairy-free parmesan and/or nutritional yeast, to taste Method: 1. OPTION 1: If using a mortar and pestle, add the garlic and salt in first and grind into a paste. Slowly adding your fresh basil and pound until finely broken down. Add in the pine nuts and pound into a paste. Gradually stream in the olive oil and work it into the mixture. Stir through your parmesan or nutritional yeast if using. 2. OPTION 2: If using a food processor, add the garlic, salt, basil, pine nuts and parmesan or nutritional yeast in and blitz well until it becomes a finely broken down mixture. With the motor running on low, gradually stream in the oil until well-combined. 3. Use immediately or transfer into a jar and cover the surface with a thin layer of olive oil. Pop the lid on and transfer into the fridge. Use within 5-7 days or alternately, freeze into cubes for up to 3 months. #vegan #veganrecipe #veganpesto #pesto #plantbased
