A versatile, flavourful vegan pesto from SuperNatural.
This recipe is of course different in flavour to the traditional basil pesto, but I have mimicked some of the typical flavours. Cashew nuts, when blended through food, can have a sort of parmesan flavour and they also give a beautiful creaminess.
Kale and cashew pesto
Makes 2 cups
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ cup (75 g) unsalted raw cashews
- 3 cups (210 g) packed kale, roughly torn
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1½ cups (375 ml) olive oil
- sea salt
METHOD
Put the garlic, cashews and kale into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and blitz to combine.
Have a taste and adjust with salt and a little more lemon juice if needed.
TIP: The pesto will keep for up to 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge.

Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.
