Notes
We used Darikay coriander pesto from delis.
To make your own, place 100g coriander leaves and stalks, ½ cup parsley leaves, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tbs toasted pine nuts and ½ cup (40g) grated parmesan in a food processor. Whiz to combine. With motor running, slowly add 100ml olive oil until you have a paste. Season, then keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
