Vegan Pesto

1. Place sea salt, garlic, and pine nuts in a large mortar and crush with pestle to make a smooth sauce. Add a small ammount of basil leaves and grind against sides of mortar until they break apart.

2. Repeat until all basil leaves are used up and the mixture has formed a coarse paste. Add olive oil and stir until mixture is smooth and creamy.
