Coriander and Cashew Pesto

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

Directions

1. 1

   Place the leaves of coriander and basil into your food processor.

2. 2

   Chop leaves for about 10-20 seconds on high.

3. 3

   Stop processor and add cashews, garlic, 2 tbsps parmesan, salt and pepper.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   Once desired consistency is achieved add a few drops of sesame oil to taste.

6. 6

   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.
