Step 1
Add the basil, lemon juice, pumpkin seeds, tahini, garlic, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds and olive oil to a food processor and pulse until roughly combined. Season with salt and pepper. With the processor running, add the cold water a little at a time, checking the consistency as you go - you may not need the full 50ml. Keep pulsing until it's a coarse, spoonable pesto, or longer if you prefer it smoother and less grainy.

I love that little feeling of growing something yourself and then actually getting to enjoy it in a meal. So special 🩷 xx

Great recipe! I modified it a bit. I toasted the pumpkin seed before and used raddish green instead of basil. Will try again with basil once I get it fresh.

Ahh radish greens, I like that! And yes, definitely try it with the basil when you get some. Now I’m curious which version you’ll prefer 😂 xx
