Pecan Pesto

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soaked pecans 
  • 2 1/2 cup packed basil & parsley leaves  (approx. 2 parts basil to one part parsley, which ten to be a little bitter, so less is better)
  • 1-2 minced garlic cloves
  • 3/4 cup olive oil or walnut oil

Directions

1. Soak pecans in a small bowl using pure water while gathering the other items. This will make blending the nuts easier.

2. Place olive oil in the bottom of the blender; add parsley & basil and buzz.

3. Next, add garlic & drained pecans. If using sea salt, add. Blend thoroughly. Refrigerate. Overnight the pesto may thicken, so feel free to add a little more oil or even water. 

*Variations: Pesto can be used over veggies, potatoes, and also used as a dip or dressing
