10-MINUTE BROCCOLI PESTO! š„¦ Follow
@kalejunkie for more easy recipes! This is my favorite spin on a traditional pestoāand it happens to be nut-free, gluten-free and can be made vegan, too! We love this over pasta for a quick and delicious dinner. PRO TIP: this pesto is REALLY good as a spread on sandwiches.ā£
ā£
2 cups broccoli, cut into small floretsā£
1/2 cup (packed) Italian parsleyā£
1 bunch fresh basil (about 1/2 cup packed)ā£
2 garlic clovesā£
1 lemon, juiced and zestedā£
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (or substitute for nutritional yeast to make vegan)ā£
1/3 cup olive oilā£
1 tsp saltā£
1 tsp pepperā£
ā£
Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. When boiling, add the broccoli florets and let them boil for about 30-40 seconds, then remove and place them in an ice bath to cool. Pat dry. Next, add all of the ingredients to a food processor or high speed blender and blend until desired consistency is reached. I like to leave some texture, but you can make it completely smooth...
