Vegan Basil Pesto image

A delicious, creamy vegan basil pesto. Nutritional yeast and white miso mimic the salty, cheesy flavour of Parmesan while cashews + hemp seeds replace the typically expensive pine nuts.

Provided by Brittany at ilovevegan.com

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup basil leaves, packed
1/4 cup raw cashews
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp shiro (white) miso
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp hulled hemp seeds
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp water

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse basil, cashews, garlic, and salt, until cashews are finely chopped and evenly textured.
  • Add the miso, nutritional yeast, and hemp seeds. Pulse until combined.
  • While the processor is running, very slowly pour in the olive oil, followed by the water.
  • To prevent oxidation, spoon pesto into a small jar and top with a thin layer of olive oil. As you use the pesto you can stir the oil in, or discard/reserve for later.

  • To a food processor or small blender, add the basil, nuts, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and sea salt and blend/mix on high until a loose paste forms.
  • Add olive oil a little at a time (streaming in while the machine is on if possible) and scrape down sides as needed. Then add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) water at a time until the desired consistency is reached - a thick but pourable sauce. (If avoiding oil altogether, sub the oil with vegetable broth or just use all water.)
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor, salt for overall flavor, nuts for nuttiness, garlic for bite / zing, or lemon juice for acidity.
  • Perfect for adding to sauces, dressings, breads, and more! My favorite recently has been adding it straight to zucchini or carrot noodles (see photo) for a beautiful, healthy side dish.
