Ingredients
4 zucchini
2 cups of spinach
1 cups fresh basil leaves
2 garlic gloves
4 tbs tamari
1/2 cup pinenuts/or cashews
1 TCPJ wheatgrass shot
Juice of half of a lemon
Chilli flakes and black pepper to taste
Cherry tomatoes and rocket for garnishing
Cut the zucchini into thin strips, a mandolin works excellently if you have one.
Combine all other ingredients in a blender or food processor to make the pesto. Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrap the sides. If you're not a big wheatgrass fan add the shot slowly to taste.
