This recipe is lifted from
AllRecipes Vegan Pesto, with just a few small changes here. The garlic is excluded and in its place red pepper flakes are added to give it a little bite. This recipe may be modified after further experimentation, but my husband couldn't get enough of it. And he's not the one on the low sulfur diet. :)
2/3 Cup pine nuts
1/4 Cup walnuts
2/3 Cup olive oil
1/3 - 1/2 Cup nutritional yeast*
2 bunches of fresh basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Place the pine nuts and walnuts in a skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
- Gradually mix the pine nuts, walnuts, olive oil, red pepper flakes, nutritional yeast, and basil in a food processor, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
* For those who are sensitive to glutamates, nutritional yeast breaks down into glutamates in the body. I found that once I lowered my sulfur/thiol intake, my other food sensitivities disappeared. But, please follow your own body and its preferences.
This is really good!
Mange,
