Ingredients
-
1 cup Walnuts
-
1/2 teaspoon Garlic paste
-
1 tablespoon Non-dairy Parmesan-like cheese

2 tablespoons Marjoram
-
1/4 cup Olive oil
-
3 tablespoons Hemp hearts
-
1/3 cup Almond milk
-
1 pinch Salt and pepper
Directions
In the family of pesto, walnut pesto is a hearty condiment that you will most appreciate in Fall. It can be used to compliment your favourite pasta or even as a spread on a slice of toasted bread. The original recipe (from the maritime region of Liguria, in northern Italy) uses bread soaked in milk to give a creamy body to this sauce. However, I have used hemp hearts here, to make it healthier and more protein packed.
To prepare it, it only takes five minutes: just blend all the ingredients together in a food processor and then use fresh or transfer to a jar with a lid. It keeps up to one week refrigerated in a closed container.
