roasted beet pesto

Quick tip: buy your beets whole and saute the greens in olive oil and garlic for beet top tacos

ingredients:

• 1-2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, raw or toasted
• 2 large cooked and peeled purple beets, coarsely chopped (I prefer to roast mine)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• Kosher salt
• OPTIONAL: 2-3 tablespoons jojo’s OG

directions:

1. Pulse  the garlic and sunflower seed in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse until minced.
2. Add the beets, olive oil, and vinegar and pulse until you have a smooth pesto-like sauce. Season to taste with kosher salt.
