Anti-Flamme Pesto
Anti-Flame Pesto is a flavorful herb spread or dip designed to help reduce inflammation in the body. While not a traditional basil pesto, its medicinal qualities and delicious taste make it a health-boosting twist on the classic!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup water
- x3 tightly packed cups of curly parsley (leaves minus stems)
- Approx 1 tsp salt or miso paste
- 1 tbsp ground chia or linseed
- extra parsley, chia or water if needed
Instructions
- Juice the lemons and pour the juice and about half the water into a blender.
- Add one cup of parsley, and blend, then add the salt or miso and blend it in.
- Add another cup of parsley and blend. Add the rest, bit by bit, enough to keep the mix moving. Add the chia or linseed, blend. The pesto should be thick and moving slowly in the blender. Add a touch more water if the blender gags.

- Spread it on sandwiches, toast, or wafers. Nice on crackers with soups and salads. Stir it into pasta, scoop a dollop onto the dinner plate with mains, or serve as a dip. It keeps well, covered, in the fridge – the lemon juice ensures it stays looking fresh and green.
