Coriander And Cashew Pesto - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 bunches coriander leaves, removed (cilantro)
1 bunch Thai basil, leaves removed
150 g lightly toasted cashews, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped and lightly browned
grated fresh parmesan cheese
extra virgin olive oil
sesame oil
flaked sea salt
black pepper
Preparation
-
Place the leaves of coriander and basil into your food processor.
Chop leaves for about 10-20 seconds on high.
Stop processor and add cashews, garlic, 2 tbsps parmesan, salt and pepper.
Process all the above together on high while slowly adding a stream of olive oil until desired consistency is achieved, I prefer a nice thick pesto, however depending on the use you may want to have it a little thinner.
Once desired consistency is achieved add a few drops of sesame oil to taste.
If not being used right away place in an air tight container with a thin layer of olive oil over the top of the pesto.
