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.

‘Fish doesn’t have to be boring—my mother taught me that. Samkeh harra translates to “spicy fish,” though it’s more about a gentle kick than true heat. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, nutty tahini and the crunch of golden, roasted nuts. Oh, I do love nuts! I usually overload my plate so you almost can’t see the fish anymore, but that’s me. The nuts bring a deep, toasty richness that elevates the dish into something truly irresistible.’
