by | May 30, 2021 | News | 0 comments

A great way to eat your greens!

An easy and very tasty recipe that will please everyone. I have been using different herbs and greens in the garden as well as pine nuts , olives and capers. It works perfectly well with macadamias nuts or walnuts.
The pesto will accompany well pasta, great as a dip or on toasted bread.

The only limit is your imagination!

 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup raw pine nuts or macadamias nuts
  • 2 Tbsp olives without pitted
  • 2 Tbsp caper berries
  • 1 cup basil
  • 1/2 cup Italian parsley
  • 1 cup baby spinach, arugula, mustard leave …
  •  3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 drop Young Living essential oil Black Pepper
  • 1 drop Young Living essential oil Basil
  • 1 chili (optional)

Method

Put all the ingredients into your blender or food processor
Blend until desired consistency is reached.

Be sure that you add some extra olive oil on the top of the jar.
I usually make several jars and keep some in the freezer.

 

Young Living Culinary essential oils-

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts, and Young Living’s proprietary Seed to Seal quality commitment ensures that our bottles contain nothing other than pure oil.
Adding culinary essential oils to food and beverages is a great way to enhance flavours and add vitality. Since essential oils are very concentrated, some even up to 70 times stronger than their fresh or dried herb counterparts, they need to be treated with caution and respect when consumed. Adding culinary essential oils to food and drinks dilutes them so that they are safe to ingest, however it is important that the recommended usage quantities are followed as per Young Living’s approved recipes. Some of the stronger culinary oils require less than one drop for flavouring and a toothpick is used to control the amount of oil that is added (dip a toothpick into the bottle and swirl it into the dish to add flavour).

A word of caution,

With essential oils quality is Essential!  Take caution, not all essential oils are equals! Make sure that the oils you use and wish to ingest are organic, therapeutic grade and listed as dietary supplements. I use and recommend Young Living essential oils (TGA approved).
