Backlund Acres Pesto

  • 2 cups of raw pumpkin seeds

  • 2 cups basil (or cilantro)

  • 1 cup olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tsp raw honey

  • 2 tsp salt

    Soak pumpkin seeds in water for 2 hours and drain. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until desired consistency.

I love eating the basil pesto on a piece of toast with an heirloom tomato slice, fried egg and microgreens on top. I occasionally make the recipe with cilantro and use it on cauliflower or fish tacos with cabbage, radishes and microgreens of course.
