Ingredients
1 cup
raw walnuts 1 cup
fresh basil 1 cup
stinging nettles (steamed for 1 minute and drain) 1⁄2 tsp
salt 4 clove
garlic (raw) 2 tbsp
yeast ( nutritional yeast ) 1 tbsp
lemon juice 4 tbsp
water 5 tbsp
olive oilInstructions
Place all ingredients except olive oil into a food processor. Using the blade attachment, blend until ingredients have formed a rough paste. With the motor running, drizzle in olive oil until the pesto forms a paste. For a looser pesto, add more water and olive oil until you reach the desired consistency. Option: use fewer walnuts, ½ - ¾ cup or until desired consistency is reached. Salt to taste.
