Pesto, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Condiments

PESTO

 
INGREDIENTS
 
¼-½  Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ Tsp Sea Salt
½ Lemon, juice & zest
1 Clove Garlic
1 Cup Fresh Basil
¼ Cup Sunflower Seeds or Pine Nuts
 
DIRECTIONS
Food Processer or Stick Blender
Glass Jar w/Airtight lid
 
Begin with ¼ cup of oil, salt, lemon juice, and garlic into the food processor or a tall bowl if using a stick blender. Pulse these ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add Basil and seeds or nuts and continue to pulse repeatedly until the Pesto reaches desired consistency.
 
For a creamier, oilier consistency, add the rest of the olive oil and pulse another time or two.
 
For a creamier less oily consistency, add some water instead of the additional oil to thin it out.
 
Store the Pesto in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator to use as needed.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
