Trying to find a vegan pesto can be quite the challenge because most pestos are made with grana padano or parmesan. Although I know of one (good, yet slightly pricy) brand, I wanted to make some myself. Another reason for this was our latest dinner party at which I try to make as much from scratch as possible. (I used the pesto to make pesto cream cheese to fill a tomato. YUM!)
All you need for this basil pesto are a small number of ingredients and a blender: a regular one or an immersion blender should work.
Ingredients:
- 2 pots of fresh basil (cf. picture)
- 50g of cashews
- 4 tablespoons of yeast flakes
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 150ml olive oil (try to go for a good quality)
- 1 tablespoon of sea salt
