Walnut Pesto

Serves: 2
Ready in: 10 minutes


I’ve been dying to taste walnut pesto since ordering it in a restaurant and receiving something else, so I decided to just make it myself. I ate it with linguine, rocket, pickled walnuts and candied walnuts. You might think that this was probably more walnuts than necessary, but you'd be mistaken. It was the perfect amount of walnuts.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 & 1/2 cups fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Method
  1. Put the walnuts in one layer on a baking tray and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Be sure to check frequently as they can burn really quickly.
  2. Add toasted walnuts along with all other ingredients to the blender and blend to desired consistency. I did mine for about 1 minute
