Multi-Purpose Coriander Pesto

A lot of families have a carousel of meals they cook on rotation. Simon and Yumi both have this - and it can get boring. The spins can lack variety and surprise!

And you know what else? Every now and then you look at what you've got on regular rotation and realise... HANG ON, THAT THING THAT WE ALL USED TO LOVE AND EAT ALL THE TIME FELL OUT OF FAVOUR!

So - in Simon's case? Let's bring back Coriander Pesto!

It's so good to add flavour as a condiment to a curry. But it can also be drizzled over cooked fish. Or to marinate chicken. SO GOOD, TRUST ME.

1 bunch of coriander, washed well and spun dry

100g plain peanuts (not roasted/salted etc)

Juice of 1 lemon

2 small green chillies, de-seeded if you don't like heat

1 tsp salt

FYI in Meera Sodha's version (and we both LOVE HER COOKBOOKS), she also adds in 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and 4 tsp brown sugar!
