RAW MARINATED BROCCOLI WITH WALNUT PESTO

from The Raw Chef

• broccoli cut into 1/4 inch long strips, or rapini
• 1/2c olive oil
• 1/2c tamari
• 1T unrefined sea salt

Take any leaves off the broccoli and place them in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and leave to marinade for 2 hours or more. You can also place the bowl, covered, in a dehydrator on 115 degrees F so speed up the wilting process. This also has the advantage of your broccoli being warm when you eat it.

For the Walnut Pesto:

• 1c walnuts
• 2c basil
• 2t unrefined sea salt
• 1/4c olive oil
• 2T lemon juice

Pulse all ingredients in a food processor, leaving the mixture slightly chunky.
