Pesto Beans

Basil - mmmmmm! Summer cooking is my favourite as the things I enjoy to cook with the most are plentiful. This dish is so satisfying especially when served with a delish green salad and home-baked chips.

Serves 4-6 as a main.

Ingredients:

2 Onions, diced
2 Carrots, thinly sliced
2 tsp stock powder
4 cups Cannellini Beans, cooked

Pesto:
3/4 cup Cashews
1/4 cup Sunflower seeds
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oi
2 tsp celtic salt
2 cups fresh basil, packed tightly

1. Fry the onion in a little olive oil until soft then add the carrots to soften as well. Once cooked add the stock powder and the canellini beans so that the beans are warmed through.
2. Add all the pesto ingredients into a blender and blend well for a minute until well mixed through.
3. Pour the pesto over the bean mixture and mix through.
4. Warm up the pesto beans but do not let it bubble or get to hot; keep all the nutrients for yourself.
5. Serve over rice and enjoy!

PS) Yes this seems to easy to be true, but give it a go, it's delish!

 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!    Psalms 133:1
