Food Friday: Green Pea Pesto!

The other day Krocks in the Kitchen made a recipe that sounded good to me.  It was Green Pea Pesto.  We had everything in the cupboards/kitchen so I made it.  It entailed harvesting a lot of basil from the porch.  Getting close to the end of the season on that one...!

Green Pea Pesto

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1/2-3/4 cup fresh basil

good handful of pecans (they used 1 Tablespoon of toasted pine nuts.  Not in our budget...but we did have pecans so I used a handful of them.)

2 large cloves garlic (though i pulled up the 1-clove garlic plants from the porch and used them all, after washing them very well...!)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 Tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos

1/4 cup unflavored soy milk

Place in a blender and blend until very smooth.  Serve any way you like.  We used it for a dipping sauce for oven french fries.  Maybe I will put it on hot pasta soon.

It was pretty good.  Pretty, too!
