VEGAN PESTO

Vegan Pesto image

You can put this on almost anything! I've tried every vegan pesto recipe that I've seen and this is by far my favorite. It's taken, with a slight variation, from http://vegetarian.about.com/od/morerecipes/r/Veganpestorec.htm

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup pine nuts (you can use walnuts too)
1/3 cup olive oil (For a lower fat version replace half the oil with soy milk)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 1/2 cups fresh basil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 -5 garlic cloves

Steps:

Combine all the ingredients except the cloves of garlic into a food processor until everything is ground. I personally like it smoother than normal so I let the food processor run for a bit longer.
Combine in the cloves of garlic one at a time and keep doing taste tests until you feel there is enough (be careful not to chop your finger off with the food processor -- it really kills the pesto).
Add more salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
