Ingredients
- 2 cups basil leaves (fresh, loosely packed. You can keep some of the stalks in, but remove the thick ones)
- 1⁄4 cup cashews (or sunflower seed or pine nuts)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon asafoetida (optional)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. Roughly chop the fresh basil leaves and stalks.
2. Add all the ingredients except the olive oil and the water into the food processor (a food processor is better than a blender for this especially if you want to keep it chunky).
3. Pulse a couple of times till combined. Slowly pour in the oil and pulse.
4. Lastly, add in the water and pulse a couple more times (add in more water depending on desired texture).
5. Sprinkle a little love, say a prayer of gratitude and serve with love❤️
