This is our second video recipe about keto pesto. It shouldn’t come as a surprise as it is one of my favorite things to eat. If you haven’t already tried this amazing recipe, I would encourage you to watch our first video, where I put together a very rustic and very delicious pistachio mint pesto. Pesto is one of those foods that is always associated with condiments or garnishes, when it’s anything but. Pesto has always been eaten in small amounts but, I confess, I eat it by the spoonful! Not only because it is incredibly tasty but because it is absolutely packed full of nutritious ingredients. Pesto, in my opinion, shouldn’t be your garnish, it should be your base. Herbs hold a fond place in my heart from my childhood and now as an adult I’ve seen the miraculous health benefits of and curing properties certain herbs possess. In the last recipe we focused on mint, but in this video the green of choice is the wonder herb, cilantro, or coriander as I knew it in my native England.
Cilantro is a potent, yet subtle herb, which is as medicinal as it is nutritious and to top it off, it has a wonderfully distinct flavor. In this recipe we will be combining cilantro as a clean organic source, with jalapeño, pumpkin seeds, garlic, hempseed oil, lemon juice, and much more. This particular pesto I like to prepare in the food processor to give it that silky smoothness so I can spread it on keto bread, use as a base for meats or vegetables or simply enjoy by itself by the spoonful.
This pesto is absolutely jam-packed full of nutrients and super foods, all combined to create a recipe that should be eaten as a salad rather than dabbed sparingly. So dig in and enjoy the taste, enjoy the wonderful health benefits it’s giving you and use it on any food you prepare. And the beauty of it all? If you run out of ideas, just grab a spoon and dig in. ;)
