Roasted Pumpkin Seed Pesto (vegan)

50g pumpkin seeds
4 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
3 tablespoon fresh oregano choped
2 cloves chopped garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons of capers
2 x tablespoons of basil oil plus additional to loosen

1 Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry frying pan until they're browning and starting to smell delish
2 Put all ingredients into a food processor and blitz, adding more basil oil in a steady stream until it's the correct consistency

I made this yesterday and it was beautiful, really fresh and summery. You can get away with a lot less oil than commercially bought pesto also

1 pp per teaspoon, I usually use 2 per portion
