Ingredients
- ¼ cup macadamias
- 1 medium red capsicum, roasted and skin removed
- 1 bunch fresh coriander
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- pepper, to taste
Method
- Place macadamias into a food processor and process until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs, but are still loose.
- Add remaining ingredients and continue to puree until all ingredients are uniform but several colours can still be distinguished.
- Transfer to a small glass bowl, cover and refrigerate until required. Makes 1 cup or 10 tablespoons.
Tips
To store for several days, drizzle pesto with a thin film of olive oil before refrigerating.
