Description

This Italian inspired versatile pesto recipe is a fresher take on a classic, with creamy Brazil nuts, basil and peas. Pesto is not just for pasta – it’s delicious stirred through potatoes, gnocchi or even as a salad dressing!

Ingredients
  • 4 ½ cups (115 g) fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup (43 g) whole Brazil nuts
  • 1/3 cup (43 g) whole Brazil nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves (10 g)
  • 1 tbsp. (11 g) nutritional yeast flakes
  • ¼ tsp. salt (1 g)
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper (1 g)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. (32 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
  1. 1. In a food processor, add the fresh basil, Brazil nuts, peas, garlic, nutritional yeast flakes, salt, black pepper and lemon juice.

    2. Pulse several times, scraping down the sides with a spatula.

    3. Whilst the machine is running, slowly drizzle in the oil. This will make sure the oil combines well with the other ingredients and the pesto doesn’t split.

    4. Scrape down the sides again.

    5. To serve, stir through warm pasta, potatoes or gnocchi.
