Pepita Pesto
Loaded with Vitamins and Minerals- specially zinc! Your body will LOVE this pesto.
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch basil
  • 1/2 cup pepitas/ pumpkin seeds dry roasted
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt & pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic- optional
Action!

16360950073_24e036679f_kPlace the kale in a pot of boiling water and salt, cook without a lid for a 1-2 minutes just until it turns bright green, refresh in cold water to retain its colour. It can also be added raw if you can stomach it.

Place everything in a blender, or mini food processor and mix for a few moments thoroughly but not to soup consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste. Place in a sterilised jar (to sterilise a jar pour boiling water in it, swish it around and let dry upside down) and cover with olive oil, keeps for weeks.

Tip: You could add an additional 1/2 cup of parsley to the pesto for even more umph. Try other nuts instead of pumpkin seeds like almonds or walnuts.

Green leafy vegetables are highly alkalizing to the blood and contain lots of goodies like vitamin K, calcium and iron. As we said makes you paddle faster :-)

Thanks to the wonderful Carin from Gala’s Organic Kitchen for this beautiful recipe. Want more recipes like this? Carin runs workshops as well where you can learn more delicious recipes – just have a look at her website.
