DSK Farm Kelp Pesto

Pesto has so many amazing uses. I like to toss it in pasta, or serve on fresh fish. But you can also spread it on sandwiches or simply use it as a dip. People use Sugar Kelp Pesto gain all the traditional pesto uses, with added benefit of nutrient rich umami flavor.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts

  • ½ cup garlic cloves

  • ½ cup dry Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves

  • 3 cups blanched sugar kelp

Preparation

Blanche fresh sugar kelp for approximately 10 seconds (until it turns bright green) then set aside to dry.

The best pesto has a mixture of fine and rough pieces of in the finished sauce, so process half the fresh basil and kelp first.

Then combine pine nuts, garlic, and parmesan into a food processor and mix on pulse.

Once evenly distributed, stream in olive oil and the remaining basil and kelp using a steady pulse until the pesto reaches a rough texture.
