Coriander pesto is a refreshing and flavorful twist on the traditional basil pesto. This version uses fresh coriander leaves combined with savory garlic, rich cashews, tangy parmesan cheese, and briny olives to create a versatile and delicious sauce perfect for pasta, sandwiches, or as a dip.
- Use fresh coriander leaves for the best flavor. Rinse and dry them thoroughly before using to ensure the pesto has the right consistency.
- Toast the cashews lightly before adding them to the food processor. This can enhance their flavor and add a slightly nutty depth to the pesto.
- If the pesto is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a small amount of olive oil or water little by little until you reach the desired consistency.
- Store any leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To keep it fresh for longer, cover the surface with a thin layer of olive oil before sealing the container.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other ingredients like chilli flakes for a bit of heat or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh, tangy note.
Coriander pesto offers a unique blend of flavors that will elevate a variety of dishes. By following the steps and tips provided, you can create a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance your meals with minimal effort.
