Can You Feel the Beet (Pesto)?

Ingredients:

½ kg beets

2 dl grated parmesan cheese

1 dl olive oil

1 dl peeled almonds

1 garlic clove

ground black pepper

1 tsp. salt

1 tbl sp lemon juice

 

Boil the beets and then peel them by hand under cold running water. To peel the almonds boil them in water for a few minutes and after that you can just kind of squeeze them out of their skins. Combine all the ingredients (cut the beets into smaller pieces) and blend in a food processor or with a mixer staff.

 

Serve with pasta. Pretend you’re eating your meal with Lisa Lisa ca 1985. In her video she wore purpleredish gloves, top, and  headband at different times. And her date takes her to a diner called roast beet. We all know what vegetable kept the Miami/NYC freestyle scene pumpin’.
