When I told my colleagues, that I wanted to make beetroot pesto with garlic and mint, I got some expressions that were between disgust and lack of understanding. Garlic with mint and beetroot?
Oh yes. At least in my mind, I thought this would taste great. So I got in the kitchen and tried it. It turned out to be as delicious as I thought. To spice the pesto up, I added nutritional yeast flakes and lemon juice and seasoned well with salt and pepper.
I served the pesto with black rice noodles, that I bought in a whole foods market some time ago. To mix the noodles and the pesto easier, add some of the boiling water and thin the pesto a bit.
Enjoy!
