yummy walnuts and kale pesto

Hi everyone,

I have to share this with you.

This pesto is so healthy and sooo yum, yum, yummy that I just have to tell you how to prepare... :)

So here goes -

Ingredients:

  • A bucket of kale קופסא של קייל
  • One Cup of walnuts כוס אגוזי מלך
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice רבע כוס מיץ לימון
  • 1 tsp Mustard כפית חרדל
  • 1/2 cup Brewers Yeast flakes כוס פתיתי שמרי בירה
  • 1 tsp salt כפית מלח
  • 1 tsp black pepper כפית פלפל
  • 4 cloves garlic  ארבע שיני שום
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil שתי כפות שמן קוקוס
  • 2 tbsp hemp oil (use olive oil if you are not rich or you are rich and thrifty) שתי כפות שמן המפ 
ואם אין שמן המפ אז אפשר שמן זית

Method:

warm a bit (few minutes) the walnuts and set a side


 Take one package bucket of kale

Warm coconut oil in a wok and add the chopped Kale (no need to get rid of the stems - they are OK)


Cook for maybe 3-4 minutes (cover)


Put in a food processor


Add the walnets, the lemon, the garlic, the salt & pepper, the mustard, the hemp oil and the yeast.
Blend for a minute or two...

And Voilla... - It is delicious, a bit on the sour side


You can add it to the bread that you are eating - but I recommend you don't eat bread... so maybe just munch on it - it's gooood.

Kale is ranked #1 in the ANDI score invented by Dr. Fuhrman - which means it has the highest nutrition value per calorie. 

Coconut oil is easily absorbed into the blood, is satiating, fills you with energy and helping you lose weight!

Hemp oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats, it is actually the ideal source for the two essential fatty acids: Linoleic acid (Omega-6) and Alpha Linoleic Acid (Omega-3) having just the right ratio between the two for human consumption.

And Walnuts... - they too have the above polyunsaturated fats, they are good for your cognition & memory, they make your hair thick and prevent dryness of your skin.

So with all this packed health - what are you waiting for? go spend 5 minutes in the kitchen and enjoy!

Aviel.
