this is for you @rubberzebra: how to make raw pesto
the most adorable twitterer I know asked me how to make raw pesto. so here it is! it was so delicious, I will make it again and again and again. And so simple!!!!
taken from The Raw Gourmet
2 tablespoons pine nuts, soaked 20 minutes
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
pinch sea salt
*in a blender combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick add a tablespoon of warm water.
yield 1/2 cup.
Now that we have a household of 5, I modified the amounts roughly to the proportion of how they are in the first recipe. Fresh basil is B A N A N A S! The smell, the flavor, the aroma, the overpowering of the senses, it’s a sure need to have in your herb garden!
It’s so yummy it makes you feel light you are being naughty! raw pesto will always have a place in my belly! :)
