At a dinner party once, an angel in the guise of a man, appeared bearing a gift from the Gods…. he held out a bowl of Chocolate Pesto. Yes, you heard me – Chocolate Pesto! Mmmm!! The cacao adds such a yummy richness and warmth to traditional pesto. The nutty spiciness of cacao marries particularly well with the flavours of basil, pine nuts and parmesan… It inspired me to add our Sacred Earth Medicine Ceremonial Cacao to Willie Harcourt Cooze’s recipe; It’s so good, you gotta try it for yourself...
Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and whizz to a coarse paste. The pesto will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. Or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
We love tossing this pesto through a bowl of freshly cooked pasta (especially the fresh gluten free pasta from our local farmer’s market – Ooh yeah!) Willie recommends using it as a topping to a warm chicken salad (he isn't vegan!). Either way you have a quick n easy but flavoursome dinner.
Be careful, it’s ridiculously moreish!
There’s been a lot of concerned murmuring in the wider chocolate industry of late, specifically around the high levels of heavy metals found within cacao (namely lead and cadmium). Our latest lab test results inside!
Did you know most chocolate is synonymous with deforestation?! Being custodians of the Earth is a commitment we take very seriously here at Sacred Earth Medicine.
Yule, the Winter Solstice, is a powerful time to journey in to the magic and mystery, to receive wisdom and guidance from beyond the veils. This guided meditation journey for Yule harnesses the stillness of the longest night, inviting you to take time for deep rest, reflection, and renewal.
What if cacao is actually a sacred plant teacher that’s been quietly waiting for us to remember? And does cacao hold power as an Entheogen – a plant capable of connecting us to the divine?
