Dehydrated Pesto

Serves: 1

Ingredients
3 T dried basil, crumbled
3 T shelf stable parmesan cheese
1 T dried garlic, powder or diced
2 T olive oil (or 2 packets)
1/4 c water

Instructions
At home pack the dry ingredients in a snack size bag
and seal tightly. Pack the oil in a leak proof bottle
or take packets.

Depending on your use for the pesto sauce, add the oil
and up to 1/4 cup water (hot or cool) slowly, mixing till
blended. If using on trail sammies, you may want to use
less water for a thicker spread. Let sit for a couple
minutes to blend the flavors.

Notes
Perfect for pasta: Add a couple of diced sun-dried tomatoes,
a handful of pine nuts and you have a sauce worthy of any
type of pasta.

Try with Potato: make mashed potatoes and pesto in two
separate bags, use pesto and olive oil and red pepper
flakes as condiments for mashers.

Wraps: smear on a tortillas! Really good with chicken,
shrimp, turkey, tuna, dandelion greens, even makes shoe
leather taste good.

For a vegan version use vegan friendly faux-Parm found
in most natural food stores.
