Ok …….. I know it sounds crazy but I swear pesto tastes better the slow way, using a pestle and mortar.
2 cloves of garlic chopped
A big handful of basil leaves, chopped (Greek Basil if you can find it)
Organic Greek Basil seeds (so you can grow your own!)
A handful of soaked and dehydrated walnuts
Juice of 1 organic lemon and a little of the zest
5 or 6 twists of black pepper
Sea Salt to taste
4T raw olive oil
Put basil, nuts and garlic into the mortar and grind with the pestle into a chunky consistency.
Add lemon juice, zest and olive oil and and grind some more. Season with sea salt and pepper.
Serve over a salad of cherry tomatoes and baby greens with finely chopped olives.
