Superfood Pesto Graded 2-8864

This time of year, I try put an extra focus into Immune Boosting Foods that help nourish and support my immune system. This is a delicious recipe for  Superfood Pesto created by Caroline Beaumaris who was one of the winners from my Healthy Chef Wellness Competition. I loved its simplicity and the fact that this pesto was so versatile allowing me to incorporate it into  so many of my healthy  recipes. Last night I spread it over a Margherita Pizza with a lush roasted tomato sauce and milky fresh Buffalo Mozzarella on a thin and crisp almond and sunflower crust. Tonight the leftovers will be served with a quick and simple organic egg frittata topped with sautéed kale and fine grated Parmesan.

What’s great about it:
The broccoli is full of alkalinising, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer  phytonutrients called sulforaphane that work to support optimum health and protect against disease. It’s a true superfood rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, E and CoQ10. Broccoli is also a wonderful source of B group vitamins, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and manganese. Herbs such as fresh parsley and basil are full of superfood goodness that are anti-inflammatory to the body. Parsley is rich in chemoprotective oils that can help neutralise carcinogens as well as chlorophyll that is the single most critical substance in plants that allows them to absorb light from the sun and convert that light into usable energy. Chlorophyll helps to nourish the digestive system, support detoxification and elimination and helps to alkalinise the body. Garlic and black pepper are anti-inflammatory and can stimulate digestion.

1 head broccoli
1 large bunch basil
1 bunch parsley
Generous handful baby spinach leaves
1 lemon
handful pumpkin seeds or your choice (raw sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts or macadamia nuts)
60 g Parmesan – grated – optional but Delicious !
1 clove garlic, smashed
generous pinch sea salt
generous pinch ground black pepper
4 tablespoons cold pressed olive oil or a lovely lemon scented olive oil

Chop broccoli roughly and place into your food processor for a few seconds until it is finely chopped.
Add basil, parsley and spinach and process again until finally chopped and mixed in with the broccoli.
Add the juice of 1/2 a lemon, Parmesan, garlic and pumpkin seeds.
Season with sea salt and pepper the process again until combined and finely chopped.
Add olive oil and give your superfood pesto one last wiz.
Taste and adjust the flavours adding more lemon, salt or pepper if required.
Store in a glass jar in the fridge for upto 3 days.

INSPIRATION
Intensify the basil flavour by swapping parsley for more basil. (see this recipe for some variations)
Use in-between layers of oven baked lasagne and top with home made roasted tomato Passata.
Mix through zucchini linguini and heat in a hot pan until luscious.
Spread over a pizza base before baking and top with fresh tomato and Buffalo Mozzarella
Mix through steamed or roasted vegetables
Serve with fish or organic chicken.
Add to pumpkin soup or vegetable minestrone.

It is the Ministry of NSearch that all inherit the Kingdom of God

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law....

Now the works of the flesh are evident, 

which are adultery fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,

outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,

murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;

of which I (Paul the Apostle) tell you beforehand,

just as I also told you in time past, that those who 

practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,

against such there is no law. Those who are Christ's

have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,

envying one another.

Galatians 5:18-26

{Sorcery: "Pharmakia;" Primarily mentioned as one of the "works of the flesh." In "sorcery" the use of drugs. Blue Letter Bible. Galatians 5:20}
