Best Pesto Ever

[sealie]

A bit of random recipeness.

Today, I harvested my windowsill planter of spinach, basil and coriander (aka cilantro). And I was stumped about what to do with all these green leaves (green leaves don’t feature in my diet as much as they should).

Since I was stumped I had a look in my Veganomicon* and OMG I made the most delicious pesto-ey thingamabob ever. This is the way to eat green leaves. This is a little bit different to the one in the Veganomicon because I went with what I had to hand.

Dump into a bowl:
Two generous handfuls of spinach
One generous handful of basil
A twist and a half of coriander.
1/4 of a cup of Zaytoun organic olive oil
1/2 of a freshly squeezed lemon
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
And the secret ingredient – 1/3 cup of toasted, sliced almonds.

Macerate it with a blender or food processor.

I am so growing some more spinach, basil and coriander so I can eat this again.
