Instructions
1.
Cook the mung beans in 750ml of water. Optionally add salt. Bring it to a boil and keep the water boiling for 25 minutes until the beans are tender. Drain the water and let the beans cool down.
2.
Wash the vegetables and fresh herbs. Boil plenty of water in a medium-size pot and optionally add salt. Place the Brussels sprouts in the water and add the pasta after 4 minutes. Cook everything for another 8 minutes. Drain the water and let it cool down. If possible, place it on a tray, so it cools down quicker.
3.
Clean the asparagus by cutting off the tough part at the bottom. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and sauté the asparagus for 3 minutes. Keep turning them, so they cook evenly. Add water halfway up the asparagus and let the water evaporate by cooking it over high heat for approx. 2 minutes. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
4.
Add the chopped garlic, 1/2 of the orange without seeds, the mint, dill, agave syrup, nutritional yeast and walnuts to a mixing jar. Blend everything together, while pausing sometimes to add a total of 2 tablespoons of olive oil bit by bit. As a result, the dill pesto should be a smooth cream.
5.
Separate the pasta from the Brussels sprouts. Cut the sprouts in half. Wash the chickpeas and remove the liquid from the jar.
