Pesto Sauce


My Pesto sauce:



Fresh Fenugreek (Methi) Leaves



  • Flat-leaf fresh Parsley- one bunch- chopped
  • Fresh flat spinach leaves - 1 bunch- chopped (*optional - I add it for the nutritional value - a rich source of calcium and iron)
  • Fresh fenugreek (methi) leaves - 1 sprig (*optional - I add it for the nutritional value - antidiabetic properties of both Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes. It is also helps to avoid constipation)
  • Dried basil leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil - 1 tbsp
  • 3-4 garlic cloves diced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2-3 tbsp of whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp of black pepper or cayenne pepper
