Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp walnuts chopped
  • 1 apple red-skinned eating apple
  • 2 sticks celery
  • 2 tbsp coriander chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for just a couple of minutes until they release that gorgeous nutty aroma. Don't get side-tracked when you do this as these little beauties can catch very quickly and go from toasty tastiness to burnt offerings within seconds!
  • Core the apple but don't peel it as the little flecks of red skin look pretty and the skin is full of vitamins too.
  • Chop the celery and toss this into a food processor along with the apple and the coriander leaves.
  • Season with salt and pepper and whizz that processor till you get a lovely bright green paste.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil a little at a time until you get the consistency you prefer. If I were mixing this with pasta I would add more oil for a looser sauce, when serving with a sandwich I add less oil for a firmer sauce that won't drip everywhere.
  • Spoon your pesto into a small jar with a lid and top with a little more oil to seal and stop the herbs oxidizing and darkening in colour. Store in the fridge for up to a week.
