PISTOU SAUCE OR FRENCH PESTO ( VEGAN )



Pistou Sauce or French Pesto ( Vegan ) image

Pistou is the French version of pesto - there are no pine nuts and commonly the parmesan cheese is replaced with coarse salt. Use this any way you'd normally use Italian pesto! Adapted from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen, by Donna Klein. This recipe was picked for the Freeze It recipe tag game, and I've added the OAMC instructions from Chef Mommy Needs Coffee and the OAMC Forum below.

VEGAN BASIL PESTO

The combination of smoked almonds, pistachios and green tea gives a depth of flavor that cheese would normally provide, making this a great vegan condiment for pasta or crostini. Freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray and store for up to one month.

Vegan Walnut Pesto image

A modification of a vegan pesto recipe I had been using for a while...I prefer to use walnuts in mine and wanted to adjust for my salt preference, so I decided to post. This makes a LOT of pesto...I like to make extra servings to freeze for later.

VEGAN PESTO



Vegan Pesto image

You can put this on almost anything! I've tried every vegan pesto recipe that I've seen and this is by far my favorite. It's taken, with a slight variation, from http://vegetarian.about.com/od/morerecipes/r/Veganpestorec.htm

Provided by Shmily Vegan

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pine nuts (you can use walnuts too)
1/3 cup olive oil (For a lower fat version replace half the oil with soy milk)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 1/2 cups fresh basil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 -5 garlic cloves

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients except the cloves of garlic into a food processor until everything is ground. I personally like it smoother than normal so I let the food processor run for a bit longer.
  • Combine in the cloves of garlic one at a time and keep doing taste tests until you feel there is enough (be careful not to chop your finger off with the food processor -- it really kills the pesto).
  • Add more salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

  • If you have a hole in the top of your blender, gradually stream in the olive oil. If you do not, add 1/4 cup of the olive and pulse. Once it is slightly blended, add the next 1/4 cup of olive oil and repeat. You might need to scrape down the sides during this step.
  • Add in the nutritional yeast and stir in. Then pulse the blender a few more times to get it combined with the other ingredients. You might have to scrape down the sides between pulsing.
  • Once you have paste (it still might be clumpy!) add in the spinach, salt & pepper and 1/4 cup water. You should have enough liquid now for the blender to really kick into gear and blend until everything is smooth. Blend until you have the texture that you prefer.
