The Pesto with Peas everyone should make this summer

- This pesto uses less basil, drops the pine nuts, and adds a bunch of green peas. What results is a sweeter sauce that tastes really close to the original version except for its higher protein and lower fat. This pesto is perfect for whipping up pasta dishes, pizzas, or salads in no time.

Ethan you should try making a Dominican breakfast called “Mangú con Los Tres Golpes”. Mangu is a mashed plantain, and the three hits are the fried cheese, fried salami, and fried eggs. Traditionally this breakfast is topped with pickled onions. I think you would love it and would be interesting to see you take a shot at it.
literally the best breakfast in the history of mankind
@@skylarkesselring6075 Yes, the same my favorite breakfast. I just don't eat it all the time because it's not the healthiest and trying to watch my weight.
I would love to see that and maybe see how he changes it slightly
Yes Ethan do this breakfast, you're going to love it
It's ridiculous how fantastic it is for breakfast! Coming from NYC and living near Washington Heights, I speak the truth! 😂
Peas are largely underrated and their value must be acknowledged. Thank you for giving them the exposure they deserve
One of my favorites, always have them on deck.
@@EthanChlebowski for real. How do you think a pea chimichurri would hold up?
@@EthanChlebowski We need a "always on deck" video! Appreciate the hard work that goes into these videos!
@@wolfingitdown2047 IDK if peas are really underrated
I keep seeing westerners (especially Yankees) eating peas as side dishes with their chicken and mash. And pea soups, or other soups of any kind
Oh, and when fried rice cooking was involved, they put peas in mostly along with other vegetables
Ethan out here exposing his peas
I'll only make this if I have your explicit permission to call it "peasto"
omg! "peasto!"
🤣🤣🤣👍
Check out Spanish "pisto" 😂
I absolutely second this!
Explicit permission from Ethan himself is mandatory haha
Dammit, lost my chance to say it.
came to the comment section to see if someone already pointed this out
In this video: Ethan discovers posh mushy peas
😂😂😂
“I’ll see you all in the next one... *p e a s* .”
You should watch One Piece

Nice, I am allergic to nuts so its nice to have a recipe without them
You could also use different seeds. Sunflower seeds works really good in pesto. Very nutty taste.
@@MatsJPB yooo thanks for letting us know!!!
Roasted sunflower seeds are also a good pine nut replacement.
Peas seem to do more work, stretching the basil at the same time.
The only person who could never upset the lovely Italians, no matter what XD
Pesto is my favorite pizza sauce. I have to try this.
Ethan should do a line of protein pesto: bridge culinary and fitness gap.’make bank.boom
I'd buy it
you are having a laugh, but there is a market for PROPER stuff for folks with dietary considerations, ethicals or medical. develope a proper line of VEGAN high protein fitness shit and you´re minted for life. Vegan markets are booming, but they´re still getting shafted on some.
i know i would if i´d not be as bad in business as i am.
The pea pesto idea was brilliant. I used walnuts and watercress beside the left over basil because they were lying around and it was brilliant . Steamed peas for about 1 minute don't have a microwave made everything instant heaven. Tx!!! Did use romano etc. try to be vegan but if not hurting the planet wth. My mum was Polish and an amazing cook really grateful for yr videos wonderful memories.
I highly recommend trying garlic scape pesto!! It's incredible, especially with self-grated parmesan. Sooo garlicky and flavorful
Really, taking any good pest recipe and swapping the pine nuts for toasted walnuts is awesome. Give that a shot.
Another great use of peas by Ehtan, thanks for the great video!
Ethan you are a genius!!!! I'm 90 percent vegan do I cheat absolutely .... I LOVE this had the homegrown cherry tomatoes plus runner beans I could have used small potatoes but had Italian penne which ... forgive my terrible italian is buckwheat, corn as in polenta, some wheat think it's Farro comes out like regular pasta cannot tell the difference except well ,,, the easiest thing to do with all that basil a year later many thanks! My mum was Polish and love your nostalgic peroghi recipes also meeting up with Alex the French guy ... lived in France for many years he's the real deal .... keep on !!!!!
This hits so many spots for why i watch cooking videos. Interesting ideas but quick, cheap and delicious 10/10
I’m so excited to try this! I adore peas and nuts often aren’t in my budget. Would love to see more easy budget swaps like this that are still delicious and wholesome!
definitely will have to try making this. you've become my favourite cooking channel, love the way you structure your videos!
I love all of your higher protein, low carb or low fat alternatives. Makes hitting my macros so much easier 😁💪
This is simply brilliant. Colour and taste matches perfectly...
Im always amazed at how you can take a traditional recipe and change around some ingredients to make it not only healthier but still taste great! 😯
Thanks for this recipe & walk-through. It is delicious! I don't know how you came up with the idea of adding peas to pesto, but it is brilliant. Highly appreciated
This is delicious. Made it tonight with some chicken, veggies and chickpea pasta and it tastes like a dream. Definitely going to write this one down in my recipe book.
This is a great idea! I like peas, I dislike pine nuts…this should be perfect!
Holy Schmeckeldorf, Ethan. Your recipes keep hitting the mark. Keep up the good work, I'll be there to watch, recreate and enjoy. Cheers.
I woke up and saw that you posted this morning, then went and made this recipe for lunch, no regrets. Thank you for always making such great cooking content!
Hey Ethan, i'm from Brazil and i would love you to try a classic dish from here Fried Cassava, AKA mandioca frita! It might be better then french fries becouse it is more crispy and also soft and creamy on the inside! It might be a bit hard to find raw non cooked cassava (witch is preferable), but if you do, here is the proceedure: Peel off the skin, give it a little rinse and cook it in a pressure cooker for about 30 minutes or untill it's really soft and borderline mushy, and here is the thing: cassava has a higher starch content then potatos, does making it more dense and can be done to a consistance of mushiness and still hold integrity, witch is the preferable state for it. I usually fried them right afther pressure cooking them (i just wait about 20~30 min afther cook, they are still hot doe). Afther that frie then until golden&crispy and add some salt. I hope you can try the recepie and improveit.
Thanks for always keeping us healthy Ethan 💕
Love making a pea puree with any fish/scallops. Will have to try this out
Now I know exactly what to do with all the peas I’m growing in the garden!
Yeah, I'll deff be making this this weekend!
My wife has a tree nut allergy. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Thanks for this recipe! I have some frozen peas that just turn out mealy when I cook them, but this recipe is a great way to get rid of the nasty texture. Turned out great!
Beeindruckend! Danke! Gutes Video!
You are the best! Can't wait to try this
Massimo does something similar to this, using mint. He got a lot of flack for it, but people forget that Italian cuisine, including pesto is in essence a product of necessity and the environment.
Also, he's a world renown chef!
i love this! what an awesome idea!
very nice, ethan. will definitely try this one out, especially on a pizza, but I think I will try topping the pizza with the pesto after it's done
This also seems like an improvement on mushy peas to go with fish and chips.
What a great side to marry the cuisines!
Yum looks great. About to make Parsley ( garden overflowing with Italian parsley) pesto here with walnuts instead of pine nuts. Always turns out great and mostly I freeze it. Cheers.
Thank you so much. This is my new favorite recipe! Doing low carb I have just been putting it on as a sauce for chicken, fish an eggs. It is so good and simple. I love pesto but buying pine nuts is almost a pet peeve their so expensive. Just use some peas instead. Highly recommend to everyone!
Going to try this with vegan Parm. (Dairy allergy) Thanks for coming up with a version that doesn't use pine nuts. They're way too pricey for my budget.
A wide mouth canning funnel might be helpful for filling the deli containers- less pieces overboard.
Nutritional yeast works great as a parmesan replacement as well!
Aged cheese does not have lactose. The aging process gets rid of it.
Swap the pine nuts with toasted walnuts, its definitely a close comparison to the pine nuts.
This is perfect for me as I'm allergic to pine nuts!! Usually use walnuts but this is a great alternative :) Thanks for the great content Ethan
Ethan, you're keeping me fit one dish at a time
I finally realize what that tiny hole at the top of my food processor is for! Thank you for pouring oil on the cap
Wicked! Great upload as usual! :)
just made this, it is god darn delicious.
Thanks Ethan, I support the quest for World Peas. This recipe is a step in the right direction.
YUM....that looks fab
Hell yeah I’d love to try this
Thank you I am allergic to pine nuts and have been looking for a different recipe for a looooong time :D
Im trying this for lunch, will update later
i've been binging your videos today and this is random but - i really appreciate how you rarely roll your sleeves up, and when you do, it's just above the wrist, not all the way into a tshirt. it's so unnecessary and a pet peeve of mine when guys do that lmao. plus it shows how efficient / clean you are when cooking/cleaning. you wear black long sleeve tops and hardly ever get debris on them!
What is wrong with rolling up your sleeves? Lmao
there's nothing inherently "wrong", i just find it unnecessary when some people wear long sleeve tops but insist on rolling up the sleeves to make them even shorter than standard tshirt sleeves... just wear a t-shirt? or a vest! 💀
Me and my family do a very similar version to this, but instead of Peas we use Asparagus. Its really good, and really close to the OG version. I'll be sure to give this a try!
I like the idea of using frozen peas since, like you said, they're way cheaper and extremely versatile (although I still prefer my peas steamed, tossed in a little butter, and salt and pepper since I feel like they're good as is and don't need a ton of extras). Plus, this is a really good way for someone with a nut allergy to enjoy pesto.
I would add some of the pickled onion to the ‘peasto’ pasta salad. These dishes all look delicious.
My favorite youtuber!
thank you
Ethan is in pursuit of the highest protein meals it seems
Saving this video..
This is nutty chunky and sweet pesto sauce
If we're really looking to drive the cost down, I'm sure using dried split green peas would totally work for this recipe.
Finally something I don’t have to keep in my fridge 24/7.
I could never eat regular pesto bc the pine nuts would kill me so im definitely gonna try this out.
I cannot wait to try this one, I love pesto but it's way too expensive to buy basil where I am and the premade stuff is mostly bad.
That look tasty
The Big Chlebowski!
Oh man he's such a beautiful sweet green pea isn't he?
I like how the video ends with "peas" I mean "peace!".
I don't even like peas but I like Ethan's videos 👌🏾
Great substitution for this is parsley and mint for the basil and dropping the cheese as a whole.
At that point, it just stops being pesto.
Pea to sounds nice
This looks great. Does this pesto freeze well?
I'm gonna try this. Peas out.
I just had this idea and made it about a month ago, and then I see this
A good vegan substitute for the dried Italian cheese might be Nutritional Yeast Flakes and/or salted okara.
I like to use walnuts that I toast in a pan instead of pine nuts. Legit pesto is just using what you have
Ethan, really nice change-up on your pesto! I like to sub pistachios for the pine nuts in pesto. You gotta check the country of origin on the pine nuts because most come from China and are of dubious "organic" authenticity.
As with most things from China, unfortunately
what would you recommend instead of olive oil and butter for vegans or low-cal alternatives? maybe tahini, hummus, water, lemon juice, or vegan mayo? which would you recommend?
For the pasta salad, I would have mixed the dressing in the big bowl first, then added veggies and pasta. If you're mixing it all up anyway, it saves an extra step (and dishes).
Great, gonna try this with turkish flat bread for pizza!
I just used it on some pita last night, so good 🔥
@@EthanChlebowski I can only imagine, thanks for sharing the recipe!
Dude you should definitely buy IlLillo oven from italy. It is a shell like oven that pops up the temperature up to 450 °C and you make perfect pizza
I tried using edamame instead of peas.
FANTASTIC!
Could you do this with petit pois peas? Or would that make the pesto too crunchy
This is a fantastic idea! I never thought to use peas in a sauce. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the recipe 😊
I knew I should have picked up some fresh peas at Trader Joe’s last night! 😫
Could you try Frango da Guía?
I'd definitely add some lime to give this banger a kick!
Acidity is a must, that's why I go for the lemon!
@@EthanChlebowski Try grinding some skin flakes if it's going into the fridge too, lemon and lime skins contain natural conservatives 😉
Ethan pls Show us methods to make marmite/vegimite
Rest in peas
Is there a link for Ethan’s food processor? I dig it and can’t find it.
I'm curious, would mortar and pestle bring out more basil flavour like you mentioned in an earlier video? Can the basil be ground on the mortar and added to the rest of the ingredients in the processor?
Should the frozen peas also be microwaved before using or would you just let them thaw beforehand?
I just love you
I hate peas. But that's mostly the texture. I might have to try this.
If Ethan had put his grilled chicken on the pizza it would have been the world's first good pea and mayonnaise pizza.
I don't like peas but I love cilantro pesto
Effectively UK mushy peas with pasta 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋, this would normally be used as a side with fish and chips!!!
WOAH PAUL FELDER HAS HIS OWN TH-cam CHANNEL!!
You should try picking up the basil leaves the right way, so you could have a continuous harvest, instead of just butchering the plants 💚
