Pumpkin Seed Pesto
An alternative to your classic pesto, replacing pine nuts with pumpkin seeds for an extra earthy flavour. You can also add parmesan cheese to this mix but I didn’t because I find it lasts longer in the fridge.
Add to pasta, scrambled eggs, a slice of bread or give gift to a food loving friend.
Serves: 1 Jar Prep Time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
- 2 bunches basil (roughly 120g picked leaves)
- 4-6 small cloves garlic
- 100g pumpkin seeds
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Add all ingredients except olive oil to a food processor, blender or stick blender and whizz.
While blending, slowly pour in olive oil until it reaches a consistency that you like (drier for spreading or more oily for sauces).
