Pesto Verdi (can be made vegan)

(Note: amyb just informed us that if CannaOil is being used then 1 cup of parsley leaves should replace the cannabis buds called for in the recipe in order to add bulk. Thanks again amyb!)

Estimated Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2.5-3 Cups

Ingredients:

1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 oz cannabis buds
(Note: If using CannaOil this is OPTIONAL. Substitute with 1 cup parsley leaves if using CannaOil)
1 cup olive oil
(Note: theCannabisChef suggests replacing this with CannaOil)
8 cloves garlic
2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup almonds or cashews
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or vegan parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Activate the cannabis by crumbling it into a small skillet and stirring it over medium heat for a minute or two-until the vapor begins to rise.
(Note: Ignore this step if using CannaOil)

2. Place the basil, cannabis (or parsley), nuts, garlic, parmesan and salt in the blender. Blend it to a coarse puree while adding the oil.

3. Enjoy tossed with pastas and salads, as a sauce for meat, fish or tofu, as a tasty sandwich spread, or on pizza! Store in the refrigerator in a glass jar. For longer storage fill an ice cube tray with the pesto, cover it with plastic wrap, and freeze.
