Pumpkin seed pesto
A source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, this dish supports heart health and the immune system. The vibrant flavor of cilantro and garlic with a hint of spiciness makes it a great addition to various dishes.
Soak the pumpkin seeds (80 g) in water for about 3 hours or overnight. You can add a little lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or salt to the water.
After soaking, rinse the seeds and dry them in the oven at 85 °C for 40–60 minutes.
Once the seeds are ready, place them in a blender. Add:
- olive oil (50 ml);
- boiled water (50 ml);
- garlic (1–2 cloves);
- juice of half a lemon;
- a pinch of salt;
- selected spices (a pinch of ground cumin, herbs de Provence, allspice).
Blend all the ingredients in the blender until a smooth paste is formed.
Then chop fresh cilantro (1/2 bunch) and add it to the blender. Blend all components again until a smooth puree is achieved.
The finished pesto is recommended to be stored in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator for no longer than three days.
