Green Goddess Pistachio Pesto Beans
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium high heat, drizzle olive oil. Add hing, thyme and chilli flakes and roast for 30 seconds. Then add zucchini, spinach and kale and roast for another 1-2 minutes stirring. Cover the pan and let the vegetables soften for a few minutes, checking on them every minute to prevent them burning.
-
Once the greens are wilted transfer the vegetables to a blender along with tofu, basil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, roasted pistachios and coconut milk and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
In the same large skillet over low-medium heat add beans, then top it with the pesto cream sauce. Mix well and allow to cook for a few minutes until slightly thickens. May continue to cook if desired a thicker consistency.
-
Garnish with optional toppings: vegan yogurt or sour cream, spicy oil, roasted pistachios, and parsley or basil. Serve with naan or your favourite bread!
-
TIP: This sauce can also be used to add to pasta instead of beans!
