Pantry Pesto

  • 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons dry basil (that's right, tablespoons)
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dry parsley (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I use 1 or 2 tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast, to get a cheesy flavor with no casein)

  1. Put all of the ingredients into a blender. Process until mostly smooth. 

  2. Serve over fried tofu, steamed fish, brown rice pasta, sliced tomatoes or even spread on muffins. Easy to make and adds a lot of zip to bland foods.

  3. If you don't have a blender you can mash all the ingredients together with a fork. It won't have the same texture as blender pesto, but it'll still be yummy.

  4. Makes 6 servings.

 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.  Use hospitality one to another without grudging.  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.--1 Peter 4:8-10
