1 bunch of herbs (I like parsley, coriander, basil or even rocket)
nutritional yeast flakes (to taste)
3 tbsp cashew cream (see recipe)
olive oil
3 cloves garlic
salt
lemon juice (to taste)
1.5 handful toasted pine nuts (you could substitute for hazelnuts, almonds or walnuts)
The amounts are very approximate here because it really depends on your taste. I like a really garlicky firm pesto. The trick is to taste as you go along, for your perfect pesto.
1) Place garlic into the food processor and chop finely
2) Now add herbs, yeast flakes, nuts (leaving some to sprinkle on top), lemon, cashew cream and salt and blend, slowly pouring oil until it reaches the desired consistency
3) season to taste, pour into a sealed container and sprinkle remaining nuts on top
