Course: Dinner, Lunch
Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: Garlic Scape, Pesto, Vegan, walnuts
Servings: 1 cup-ish
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup chopped garlic scapes
  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup basil
  • 1/2-3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Add the chopped garlic scapes and walnut pieces to a blender or food processor. Blend/process until the scapes and walnuts are ground and releasing their oils.

  2. Add the nutritional yeast and olive oil. Blend/process until combined and there are no large chunks of scape or walnut.

  3. Finally, add the basil, salt, and lemon juice. Blend/process until you reach your desired consitency. I like having little pieces of basil visible with some texture from the scapes and walnuts still present.

  4. Add more salt and/or lemon juice to taste. Store in the fridge.
