Coriander and Cashew Pesto

Pesto doesn't have to be basil and pine nuts - my personal favourite is coriander (cilantro) which I use in almost everything until it's all gone. It is delicious to coat chicken, fish, lamb or pork and can be used in fried rice or any kind of stir fry. It makes a healthy snack, especially when served on whole grain or even pumpkin bread.

Ingredients

• 1 large bunch of coriander or roughly 2 handfuls of leaves
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves of garlic (more or less to taste)
• 1/2 cup of cashews
• 1/4 cup of almonds
• Salt & Pepper

Method

• Wash coriander and remove leaves from stalks.
• Place all ingredients in a food processor
• Pulse until nuts are fine. If you prefer a chunky style dip, pulse until you achieve the desired consistency.

Serve

• On cooked meat or vegetables
• Spread on toast
• Stirred through pasta
• Mixed with cream cheese as a dip
• In a stir fry
