Ingredients
Hemp Seed Pesto
- 3 T basil paste (I used basil paste from Gourmet Garden)
- 1 T lightly dried basil (I used lightly dried basil from Gourmet Garden)
- 1 T garlic paste (I used garlic paste from Gourmet Garden)
- 1/4 C hemp seed hearts (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/4 C grated parmesan
- juice from 1 organic lemon (I used Meyer lemon because we have a tree in our backyard)
- olive oil, as needed
- 4 ounces chevre
- 1 T hemp seed pesto
- 1 to 2 T lightly dried basil (I used lightly dried basil from Gourmet Garden)
- 1 to 2 T hemp seed hearts (I used Bob's Red Mill)
Procedure
Hemp Seed Pesto
Place all of the ingredients - except the olive oil - in a bowl and stir to combine. Add olive oil until it's the texture you want.
Savory Truffles
Place chevre and pesto in a bowl and stir to combine.
Spoon the lightly dried basil and hemp seed hearts onto two different plates for rolling.
Scoop 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture and roll into a ball. Roll to coat in either the basil or the hemp seed hearts. You can also leave it naked, too. I alternated. Once finished, chill until ready to serve.

ReplyDeleteA new natural alternative for insomnia is discovered to be extremely effective – Hemp CBD oil. Cannabinoids present in Hemp oil increased alpha brain waves, which boost alertness, and suppressed delta waves, which are needed for deep sleep.
