- 200 grams wholemeal spelt flour
- One egg
- 30 grams of walnut kernels
- 30 grams cashew nuts
- 40 grams parsley (2 bunches)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- Two cloves of garlic
- 60 grams of Parmesan cheese in one piece (30% fat in dry matter is recommended)
- 70 millilitres olive oil
- One red onion
- Three carrots
- 40 grams baby spinach
- Spices: Pepper, salt, nutmeg
Preparation:
- Peel and wash the sweet potato and potato. Now cut into cubes and cook in boiling water for about 15-20 minutes. Then drain and let it steam off. Now mash.
- Add the egg and flour. Season with turmeric, grated nutmeg and salt and mix into a dough. Shape the dough into rolls of equal thickness and dust with flour.
- Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- For the pesto, roughly chop the cashews and walnuts and roast in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- First wash the parsley, then dry it and pluck the leaves. Chop the garlic and coarsely grate the Parmesan. Using a hand blender, finely puree 40 g of the nut and seed mixture, the garlic, parsley and 50 ml of the oil. Now mix in 40 grams of the Parmesan and season the pesto with salt.
- Chop the onions into small pieces. Then wash the carrots and cut into small cubes. Wash and dry the spinach.
