Paleo Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Pesto
Ingredients:
- 1 Fresh Pack of Basil
- 7-8 Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- 1C Walnuts
- ½C minus 1TBSP Olive Oil
- 4-6 Garlic Cloves *Sub. in 1-2TBSP Ground Garlic if you want.
- 1TBSP Lemon Juice
Directions:
- Remove the basil from the stems, wash, and drain.
- Process your walnuts until it’s in really tiny pieces, then add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and lemon juice and process further.
- Add in the basil leaves and pour the oil on top. I don’t do the whole ‘pour slowly while it’s processing’ crap. I don’t have patience, and my hands are way too shaky to do that. Process until it’s almost paste-like.
- And pesto, you’re done! Kinda see what I did there? Store that in a fancy mason jar and it’ll be looking all epic and whatever. It may look like shit, but I think it’s delicious.
*Serving Size: I start with 1TBSP, and if I need more to whatever I add.
This SHOULD last for at least a week, but I’m sure if you’re a pesto lover, it might go sooner.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. This was made somewhat on the fly, as someone from Instagram had requested a recipe!
I actually made another pesto recipe way back, but this one is totally better. I’m deleting the old one soon. Lol
