After my recent post on pumpkin seeds, I was sent a lovely message by alerting me to the delights of pepita pesto (pumpkin seed pesto.)⁣

And it’s so easy. I googled it, then took about three recipes as inspiration for my own. ⁣

Toasting pumpkin seeds ✅ in dry skillet. ⁣

Then adding a cup of olive oil ✅, plenty of basil ✅, parsley ✅ and lots of chopped garlic (listed as 🤔 on the emoji-based food list on the site but normally tolerated well), salt and pepper. ⁣

Then crumbling in a very small amount of feta (this is 🤔 on our emoji-based food list on the site but it’s fine for me. Try leaving this step out if feta cheese is not good for you. ⁣

Then blend and serve, or chill to make the consistency firmer. ⁣
