Easy to make vegan pesto made with basil, nuts, nutritional yeast and plenty of garlic
Ingredients
1 and a half cups of basil
⅓ cup good olive oil
1 cup nuts (we use cashews)
5 cloves garlic
⅓ cup Nutritional/Engevita Yeast (available from health food shops)
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Blend all ingredients together.
That's it - nothing more! It makes a thick paste and freezes well.
Freeze by making quarter cup measures (in the UK, those Gu dessert dishes are ideal). Pop them out onto a pizza tray and then freeze overnight. Store in a plastic bag or Tupperware for several months.
