My Walnut Pesto Rice

Remember to make this with love and organic ingredients. :)

One cup walnuts

Half bunch fresh Italian parsley

1 to 2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

4 cups cooked brown basmati rice

1.  Soak walnuts in bottled/filtered water for five minutes.  Drain.  Pat dry.

2.  Place walnuts, parsley, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper in a food processor.  Pulse until it reaches the consistency of pesto.

3.  Heat rice and place in a large glass bowl.

4.  Add pesto and mix well.  Serve as an entree or side dish.

Mangia bene!
