Parsley pesto- mum's remedy for colds & a versatile base for a delicious meal.

This pesto is so simple to make and packed with goodness!
It can be used in so many ways- as a bread spread, pasta sauce, great topping for fresh/ roasted vegetables or meat/fish...and much more!
What's best is that it's full of vitamins especially K, A, C and antioxidants due to condensed amounts of parsley. It also has antibacterial properties thanks to the garlic so it makes a perfect combination to have now during winter/early spring to boost your immune system. My mother would always make this for us whenever we would have a cold or flu at home(what kid would eat garlic or parsley on it's own?). Simply mix in a food processor the following:
1 bunch of fresh parsley
A large handful of walnuts or almonds (You can toast them on a dry pan to give extra taste)
1/3 cup of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic (or more if you have a cold)
Half a lemon
Half cup of grated parmigiano cheese or any aromatic hard cheese (optional).
Salt & Pepper
Mix all ingredients and have it with your favourite food.
Store in a closed container for up to 4 days.
Yum yum!
