Chia Pesto
Makes 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 6 Tbsp water or vegetable broth
- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 3 Tbsp pine nuts
- 1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the chia seeds and water or broth. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell, stirring once or twice to break up any clumps.
In a food processor, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend until smooth. Scrape the pesto into the bowl with the chia seeds, and mix well to incorporate. Cover, and refrigerate until use. Chia pesto will last up to 1 week, refrigerated.
