Detox Cilantro Pesto

The story of this recipe is that I broke a compact fluorescent light bulb, which has a high mercury content, and I was looking into ways to detox or prevent mercury poisoning symptoms. The cilantro and garlic help to detox mercury, the Brazil nuts replace your selenium stores, and the flax seeds add fiber to work everything through your system. I got all the ingredients together and figured out a delicious way to eat it all! I chop up tomatoes and spoon the pesto mixture over bread or crackers to make a bruschetta.

Step: 1

Chop Brazil nuts and soy nuts in a food processor. Add Parmesan cheese, ground flax seeds, lemon juice, garlic, lime juice, and chile powder; pulse until combined. Add cilantro; pulse until finely chopped. Add olive oil; process on low speed until a thick sauce forms.

One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
