Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Servings: makes about 1/2 cup
List of Ingredients
2 cups chopped fresh basil leaves
1 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 slice white or sourdough bread or 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
3 cloves minced garlic
1-2 tablespoons light miso (to taste)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/4 to 1/3 cup waterRecipe
Place everything except the water in a food processor. Pulse until finely minced. With machine running, slowly add water until desired consistency is reached.
Hints: Coarsely chop the basil and parsley because the food processor will mince them later. Add some blended silken tofu to make a creamy pesto sauce for pasta.
