Ingredients
- 1 whole Chargrilled Red Pepper (store bought, marinated in a vinegar and salt brine) – or you can make your own!
- 2 handfuls Baby Spinach
- 1 bunch Basil (approx. 60 grams worth)
- 1/4 Cup Almonds (or nuts of choice – eg pinenuts, cashews etc)
- 2 tbs Nutritional Yeast Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Celtic Sea Salt (coarse)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tbs Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Get your food processor ready (you can use a blender but you will need more liquid such as vegetable stock to get it mixing properly).
- Add all of the ingredients into your food processor and pulse a few times. Then let run for about 5 to 10 seconds until well chopped.
- Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl so that all the ingredients are well mixed and chopped thoroughly.
- Repeat this process if you want the mixture finer. It is up to you how chunky you would like it 🙂
- Serve and enjoy!!
