Pumpkin Seed and Sundried Tomato Pesto
Ingredients
- Ingredients
30g pumpkin seeds
10 sun dried tomatoes (approx 40g)
20 pitted olives (I like to use kalamata)
30g / 1 bunch fresh basil, leaves picked
Juice of ½ lemon (organic if possible)
1 tbsp good olive oil
Preparation
- Method
Hydrate the sundried tomatoes in hot water and set aside.
Briefly blitz the pumpkin seeds in a food processor – I like to retain some of the texture, rather than create a powder.
Add the remaining ingredients to the pumpkin seeds and pulse until you have a paste. This is quite a thick pesto – if you want it to be more liquid, add more oil.
Store in a sterilised jar in the fridge. It should keep for at least a week.
