Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

With meat and fish, with pasta, rice, bulgur or potatoes

Deseed and finely chop the cucumber. Combine the deseeded, diced tomatoes, finely chopped spring onions, cashews, herbs, spices, oil, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice in a tall container and blend until you have a pesto. Season to taste, pour into small jars, seal the tops with a little oil before closing, and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for at least 2 months. Mine didn’t have to wait much longer than that. It tastes very fresh, with a peppery finish.
