Everybody loves pesto !
What we don’t like is the gigantous quantity of olive oil used to make de pesto. But here’s the solution, found in Isa Chandra Moskowitz « Appetite for Reduction » : Edamame in replacement of oil & pine nut.
It’s amazingly working ! Go ahead and try it !
- 200g of edamame (thawed)
- 1 small bunch of fresh basil
- 1 tsp of dry garlic
- 2 Tbsp of olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- a pinch of salt
Mix all of this with a blender, adding water little by little till you get a creamy consistance. Serve with good whole wheat pasta and enjoy !
