Serves: 300g approx.
Time: 10 min

INGREDIENTS

1-2 Garlic Cloves
60 g Cashews
40 g Pine Nuts (raw or roasted)
8 Sprigs/1 bunch Fresh Basil (leaves and soft stems)
1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
1 tsp Salt
6 heaped TBsp Savoury/Nutritional
100g Olive Oil
2 Handfuls / 60 g Rocket
20 g/1 TBsp Apple Cider Vinegar / Balsamic Vinegar

METHOD

1. Add all ingredients to the mixing bowl and BLEND / 10 SEC / SP 7.

2. Push down and repeat until desired consistency is achieved and transfer into an airtight container or jar. (see notes)

Notes : Leave out the parmesan/swap to Nutritional Yeast Flakes to be Dairy Free & Vegan. For a chunkier Pesto, instead of blending, choose TURBO / 1 SEC / 4x pushing down and repeating as needed. For best results transferring into a jar, place the mixing bowl lid over the top of the open jar and it will save any mess.
