Dandelion Pesto

Delicious pesto is a great way to add the 'bitter' taste to our meals!

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • ½ c olive oil
  • ¼-½ c Brazil nuts high in selenium
  • 1 ½ c washed chopped fresh dandelion greens
  • ¾ c grated parmesan or Romano, or similar cheese
  • Optional: lemon juice substitute almonds or other nuts/seeds, Bragg’s liquid amino acids

Instructions

  1. I have made this 2 ways. Either, toss everything into a food processor, blend and store in glass container OR
  2. very lightly sauté the dandelions in the oil, and then add to blender or food processor along with the remaining ingredients and process. Use immediately or store in fridge.

Recipe Notes

This recipe also freezes well. I put portions into ice cube containers and keep for future use when dandelions are in season.
