Rocket brings the pepper, courgette brings the body, and parmesan ties the whole thing together.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 large courgette, washed and chunked
  • 3 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds/ sesame seeds/ pine nuts
  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 50g rocket
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons grated parmesan (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and mix the courgette chunks with some olive oil, salt and pepper on the trays. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until the courgette has started to char. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  2. In a food processor, add in the roasted courgette, seeds/ nuts, rocket, garlic and parmesan. Add in a drizzle of olive oil and blend. Add in salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil to taste.
  3. One happy with the taste and texture, remove from the blender and store in a tupperware or jar. Make sure the surface is covered in olive oil to prevent the pesto from going mouldy.
  4. Serve with pasta or any other way you would have pesto!
