Ingredients:  
1 cup shelled hemp seeds
2 tightly packed cups of fresh basil

Directions:
1) Place hemp seeds in a food processor fitted with the S blade. Grind till they’re powdery.
2) Add basil and pulse to combine well.
3) Add salt, pepper, lemon, garlic, and pulse again.
4) With the motor running, add water in a thin stream, as if you were making a nut pate. Stop once in a while to scrape the bowl. Keep adding water until the pesto is still quite thick, but not pasty.
5) Keep motor running, and finish the pesto by drizzling in the 2 tbsp olive oil. This isn’t necessary, but it’ll give the pesto a more traditional mouth feel and flavor!
