Sage Pesto ---------- This makes an excellent veggie dip, or toss with cubed turkey and green onions for a salad. It's delicious with salmon too. 1/2 cup high-quality olive oil* 1/4 cup garlic, chopped 1/2 cup FRESH sage, firmly packed 1/2 cup FRESH parsley 1 cup pine nuts 1 teaspoon salt juice of 1 lemon Toast pine nuts on a cookie sheet in 350-degree preheated oven for about 5 minutes, be careful not to burn the nuts. (If they turn brown at all, they are burned.) Pick sage leaves and parsley from stem. Combine all ingredients in a food processor until a pasty, pesto-like consistency is achieved. *When selecting an olive oil, buy only an extra-virgin oil packed in a non- clear glass bottle. Good olive oil should have a nice flavor and olive aroma, taste it as you would wine, it should not taste metallic nor coat the tongue. From: Stacie and Ben's favorite Paleo Recipes |
