Pesto with basil is the best known, but did you know that you can also vary very well with ‘other greens’? Like arugula or coriander for example.
Preparation
Pesto different from arugula or coriander
Side dish for 4-6 people
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ingredients arugula pesto
- 50 grams of pine nuts
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 50 grams arugula
- 125 ml olive oil
Prepare
Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until golden brown. Then put them together with the peeled garlic, Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Add the arugula. Run the food processor until the leaves are finely chopped. Now add the olive oil and let the mixture turn until you have a coarse sauce.
Ingredients coriander pesto
- 55 grams of almond shavings
- 1 lime
- 45 grams coriander
- 100 ml olive oil
- 75 grams of feta
Prepare
Toast the almond slivers in a dry frying pan until golden brown. Grate the zest of the lime and squeeze the fruit. Puree the coriander with the slivered almonds, olive oil, feta and 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, the lime zest and 5 tablespoons of water in a food processor or with an immersion blender until you have a smooth pesto.
