Kind of revelatory.. leftover steamed green veg make a wonderful base for creamy pesto that’s entirely nut/seed/dairy/nutritional yeast free. This is an ideal recipe for when you have some steamed green beans, asparagus or zucchini hanging around in the fridge and it’s about to never be eaten. Toss it in a high speed blender (food processor doesn’t emulsify as well) with a couple cloves of garlic, a handful of fresh basil and parsley or whatever herbs you got, squeeze of lemon, sea salt and a good glug of good olive oil, add water as you go and blend until it gets super super creamy. Season w sea salt and pepper, pour over gluten free pasta (here @jovialfoods casarecce) mix over heat for flavors to blend and you got yourself a really really good pesto. 🍃🍃🍃 ps- that was the recipe, this is the perfect non-recipe recipe to play with proportions and get the flavor/consistency you desire!
