basil/baby spinach pesto
i made a small batch of basil/baby spinach pesto tonight. made from 100% local ingredients!
my pesto "recipe" (i don't actually measure any of the ingredients for pesto, just blend to taste):
1 handful basil (i had a handful of baby spinach from thinning my garden, so i threw that in too)
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup hemp seed oil
3 tbsp hemp seeds
the result:
i like to freeze things like pesto in ice cube trays. once frozen, i remove them and put them in a container or reusable plastic ziplock bag. then, when i want to prepare something that requires pesto as an ingredient, i can take out exactly the right quantity with no fuss.
