If your are on the hunt for an amazing raw vegan pesto that you can put on nearly anything, you’ve in luck, cause this is it amigo. I tasted this pesto first in a semi-raw vegan restaurant in Reykjavik, called Gló. It was so good I could barely think of anything else for the next days.
I came across the recipe one day (when I was desperately googling it), I made a few tweaks, but here’s the recipe in all it’s glory.
