Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 1 bag fresh spinach (about 200g, washed)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbs salt (add more to taste)
- 100-120 ml olive oil (add gradually to get desired texture)
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 handfull nuts of choice (we recommend walnuts, pine nuts or sunflower seeds)
- 3-4 tbsp grated parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the spinach.
- Throw all ingredients in your blender or food processor. If your are using parmesan, add it and only after blending and tasting add salt if needed because the cheese is quite salty by itself.
- Blend for 3-4 minutes on high speed. Add more oil if needed to get the desired creaminess, and blend.
Storage
- Store in a jar and cover the top with a layer of olive oil. Store for up to a week in your fridge.
