HERB-KALE PESTO

HERB-KALE PESTO

Makes 1½ cups / Prep time: 15 minutes

 


Nutritional yeast adds a lovely, almost cheesy taste to this pesto as well as a hearty amount of protein and fiber. 

Nutritional yeast is also a fabulous source of vitamin B12, which is one of the most prevalent nutritional deficiencies in the world. 

Vitamin B12 is crucial for many metabolic functions and for help in maintaining both a healthy cardiovascular system and nervous system.


NUTRITION

1 cup chopped kale

1 cup fresh basil leaves

3 garlic cloves

2 teaspoons nutritional yeast

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil


RECIPE 

1. Place the kale, basil, garlic, and yeast in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, about 3 minutes.

2. With the food processor running, drizzle the olive oil into the pesto until a thick paste forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl at least once.

3. Add a little water if the pesto is too thick.

4. Store the pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

 

SUBSTITUTION TIP

Try spinach or any other dark leafy green in place of the kale for interesting variations. You can also use any of an assortment of different herbs in the same quantity as the basil in this recipe.

Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin Serves 4 / Prep time: 10 minutes / Cook time: 15 minutes This is a throwback to a popular ’80s dish, when many things were wrapped in bacon despite the moratorium on fats.  Bacon-wrapped steaks were found on every restaurant menu because the salty richness of the bacon combined beautifully with the lean tenderloin.  If you are looking for higher omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E in your beef, source-out organic grass-fed animals. INGREDIENTS :- 4 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 8 bacon slices 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil RECIPE :- 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. 2.
