I am so excited to share this delicious Pea Microgreen Pesto recipe. It is amazing!! I had it on some pumpernickel bread today. It is so pretty topped with radish microgreens. You could also add it to pasta or on top of grilled chicken.
According to WebMD, Pea microgreens offer lots of nutritional value. They are a good source of protein and fiber, as well as vitamins K, C and A.

Pesto Recipe
INGREDIENTS
3 garlic cloves
Juice from half a lemon
2 to 4 cups of well packed microgreens
1/2 cup pine nuts (or sunflower seeds to make it nut free)
1/2 cup Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Toast nuts or seeds, and set aside to cool.
In a blender or food processor, combine garlic cloves, lemon juice, microgreens, nuts or seeds, cheese and salt and pepper. With the blender or processor on low speed slowly add olive oil to the mix. Continue blending until mixture is well mixed, chunky but not too smooth. Add salt and pepper if needed.
For creamier pesto, add more cheese. Enjoy!
Pesto can be stored in an air-tight container for up to a week. Or freeze in ice cub trays to enjoy fresh pesto all year long!

One of our favorite ways to use Microgreens is to add them as a topping or garnish to almost anything! Sunflower Microgreens have a mild, nutty vegetable flavor or if you would like a spicier addition, use Radish Microgreens. The Microgreens make it easy to sprinkle a few on top of your dish or add to a sandwich and boost the flavor and nutrition.
I work shift work at the refinery, and so many meals are not formal or organized. It is usually just grab and go. We have chickens, and yes that means we are egg wealthy! :) So scrambled eggs are a common easy meal at our house. Five minutes to scramble the eggs. 10 seconds to sprinkle Sunflower microgreens on top. Bam! Two superfoods in an easy 5 minute meal. What more could you ask for!
