Broccoli makes a delicious pesto.
Roni Lehti
Traditional basil pesto is an extremely popular and good product. But sometimes you can try something new.
Chef Risto Mikkolan according to the recipe, broccoli pesto is made in the same familiar style, but instead of basil, there is broccoli and salted pine nuts.
– Salted walnuts give pesto flavor, but also salt, Mikkola states.
Mikkola also adds a few sprigs of basil to the broccoli pesto to give the pesto a nice aromatic taste.
Broccoli should be used widely: it tastes good and is healthy.
Iltalehti stated a few years ago that you can congratulate yourself if you like to eat broccoli: according to research, it is a real health bomb.
Broccoli and its relatives (cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts) have a certain enzyme that may play a role in cancer prevention.
Broccoli is an easy ingredient: it can be used to make a variety of dishes and can also be eaten raw.
