No-Mato Basil Pesto
Active Work Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 cup, No gluten
Ingredients
- 2 c fresh basil leaves
- ½ c freshly grated Parmesan-Regianno cheese
- ½ c extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ c pine nuts or walnuts
- 4 small minced garlic cloves
- ¼ t sweet white organic miso
- Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
- 1 pinch dulse flakes
Directions
- Combine the basil in with the pine nuts, pulse a few times in a food processor. (If you are using walnuts instead of pine nuts and they are not already chopped, pulse them a few times first, before adding the basil.) Add the garlic and miso, pulse a few times more.
- Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the grated cheese and pulse again until blended. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Then add a pinch of dulse flakes to boost mineral content.
- Serve with gluten-free pasta or over roasted vegetables or over lean grilled meats and fish.
