Seaweed, hazelnut and spinach pesto

Here is a delicious pesto recipe reinvented by Conception Gourmande !

  • 50g of Royal Kombu flakes or any other seaweed flakes from Un Océan de Saveurs
  • 1 cup of cold water
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 100 g of hazelnuts
  • 1 1/4 cups olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 pinch of chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of pepper
  • a little warm water (if needed for mixing)
  1. Stir water into the Royal Kombu (or seaweed of your choice) to soften it.

  2. Using a food processor, grind all ingredients into a slightly coarse paste. Add a little water if necessary.

  3. Add to cooked pasta to taste. Serve as a side dish with fish, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and lemon juice to taste.

Pesto will keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator. If you want to freeze any leftovers, simply place them in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer them to a Ziploc-type freezer bag for up to 2 months.
