Description

This is the perfect spring pesto using both fresh basil and parsley as well as protein and omega-3 packed hemp hearts. It’s creamy without a drop of dairy, not to mention so satisfying and simply delicious!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Hemp Hearts
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 cup Basil Leaves, Loosely Packed
  • 1 cup Parsley Leaves, Loosely Packed
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • ⅓ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt (or To Taste)
  • 2  Fresh Ground Black Pepper To Taste

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spread hemp hearts out on a tin foil or parchment paper lined pan. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.

2. Add hemp hearts and minced garlic to the base of a food processor and blend until combined, about 5-7 seconds.

3. Add the basil, parsley, and lemon juice. With the processor running, stream in the oil then add the salt and pepper. Process until desired texture is reached.
