Vegan Parsley Basil Pine Nut Pesto - The Vegan Eskimo


Vegan Parsley Basil Pine Nut Pesto - The Vegan Eskimo


Parsley pesto with a flavourful hint of fresh basil. Pine nutty earthiness, cheesy nutritional yeast and spiced with salt and pepper. Use a VERY good olive oil for this, as you will end up using a lot of it, and the flavour from the oil will be prevalent, so use a delicious and fruity one.
