To make easy pesto at home.

                

                   THE MISCELLANEOUS HEALTHY PESTO (WITHOUT PINE TUBE)

         

Some people who say that healthy eating is more expensive than a cheap ready-made meal or less healthy diet. For example, consider the price of pine nuts. When I wanted to make a pasta pesto last week, I was shocked by the cost of the pesto. A bag of pine nuts of 65 grams was almost four euros! Hmm .. Do you know why pine nuts are so pricey? The trees where they come today grow super slow and harvesting the seeds is very labor intensive. They stay in good shape for years, but unpeeled but a few months. You can buy the seeds at the Turk or a toko, here they are slightly cheaper than in the supermarket. This may have to do with the lower labor costs of the country where they are processed.

But fortunately there is also a cheaper alternative, namely the pine kernels replaced by cashew nuts. And that is so good! You get a delicious creamy pesto with a lot of flavor. I scooped it through my courgetti yesterday and this morning I ate it on a cracker with cheese. Normally there is also parmesan cheese through it, but I wanted to try to make a tasty pesto as cheaply as possible. And believe me, you will not even miss the cheese :)
Needed for a small bowl

a handful of fresh basil - about 15 gr
a handful of unsalted cashew nuts - about 60 gr
dash of olive oil - or sesame or walnut oil
small clove of garlic
pinch of salt
juice of 1/2 lemon




That's how you make it

Mix the ingredients with a hand blender into a pesto. Taste for a moment and add salt, oil or lemon juice to taste.


Keep the pesto in a well-closable pot. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days.
