Zucchini pesto

Zucchini Pesto

I loooove pesto sauce!! most of the recipies have parmesan cheese, basil, olive oil etc... but have you tried zucchini pesto?? I have to tell you its pretty darn good! and veagan friendly too!

What you'll need: (sauce serves 2) ( i used it for two meals)

2 small zucchini or one large cut in small chunks

2 cups fresh basil

2 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons tahini paste (found in the health food section at Woolworths)

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

 

What to do:

Steam the zucchini chunks over boiling water for about 3 minutes, or until just soft when you poke it with a fork (i had mine a little firmer, i like my zucchini that way). Then place the zucchini, garlic, tahini, basil and salt in a food processor/blender and process until finely chopped and smooth.

The end product :)

I served it one night with grilled spiced chicken and steamed veggies... Delicious!!



The second night i made a tofu and veggie stir fry and mixed the pesto sauce in, heaven!!

You really must try this recipe :)
