Background

This walnut & caramelised shallot pesto is super easy to make, it’s vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free so suitable for most diets. Most importantly it’s super yummy - perfect sauce for pasta or grilled meat/fish, or on pizza, puff tartlets and so on. Keep it chilled in a jar until needed.

Ingredients

1 small bunch of basil
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp caramelised shallot paste
1 handful walnuts
½ lemon zest and juice
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Put all ingredients in a mortar and grind with the pestle until you get a coarse paste. Alternatively, put them into a small food processor and pulse for a few seconds (don’t overmix).
Taste and season with salt and pepper - you can add a pinch of dried chilli flakes if you want to spice it-up.
Adjust the oil and lemon according to your main dish.
Serve it with pasta or a sauce over grilled meat.
