Pesto Rosso

Pesto Rosso

Ingredients:

- 100g pine or sunflower seeds

- 180g dried tomatoes in oil

- 2 tbsp tomato paste

- 1/4 liter of industrial hemp flower oil

- 2 cloves of garlic

- 2 tbsp orange or lime juice, salt and pepper, some chili (if desired)

- 50g grated hard cheese (if this is replaced, the recipe is vegan)

Directions:

Roast the pine nuts or sunflower seeds in a pan with a little oil, let them cool, and then puree the dried tomatoes with the tomato paste.

Then grind the roasted seeds with the oil and garlic cloves in a blender until a homogeneous paste is formed.

Finally, add the grated hard cheese or the vegan alternative and gradually mix with the orange or lime juice until you get a good consistency.

Season with salt, pepper, etc. and add a little more oil if desired.

TIP: If you cover the pesto in a jar with a layer of olive oil, it can be stored for longer!
