This recipe is a good source of iron and magnesium; both are essential nutrients needed for energy.
- The pesto is even better if you make in a mortar and pestle.
- Beef and lamb contain a "meat factor" which increases the absorption of iron from plant foods.
- Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes to help prevent burning during barbecuing.
