A Pesto with a difference ....

What do you do with fresh basil from the farmers market??? mmmmm .......

I don't know many people who don't like pesto .. especially when it is homemade. But there is one problem with it, I think. Most recipes have garlic as an ingredient which I'm sure you will agree that it doesn't do much to promote fresh breath!

So here it is ... I created my recipe using a garlic/onion substitute called asafetida and voila, no bad breath !!

Makes 1 cup pesto:

Ingredients:

1/2 bunch of fresh basil
Himalayan pink salt to taste
1-2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 raw walnut pieces
Dash of asafetida
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
Dash hot paprika

Method:

Process all the ingredients in a food processor until almost smooth but with a little texture. This will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen. Yes it can!
