Pumpkin pesto
Pumpkin seeds
DECEMBER 2012
Makes 1 1/2 Cups of Pumpkin Seed Pesto Ingredients: 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds shelled, roasted 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan 2 cloves garlic 3/4 cup basil leaves 3/4 cup fresh parsley leaves 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 cups olive oil salt to taste Method: Combine the pumpkin seeds, Parmesan, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse for about 20 seconds, until the seeds are almost ground. Add basil, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil, and pulse for about 40 seconds (you may want to scrape down the sides with a spatula in between pulses), until all the ingredients are combined. The mixture should be more like a course paste than a liquefied sauce, so be careful not to over-process. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to two days.
