Herbal Pesto Recipe
Naturally gluten and dairy free Ingredients
To prepare Place garlic and salt in a blender with close fitting blades and whizz until finely cut. If your blender doesn't have close fitting blades, simply chop garlic by hand first. You can also lightly saute garlic in oil to offer a more mellow flavour. Add herbs, oil, nuts, salt and lemon juice and blend together. Great to serve as a dip with chopped vegetable sticks or seed crackers, toss through pasta or slather on top of roast potato or kumara. Any extra can be frozen in small jars topped with a little olive oil. |
