Ingredients
- 70 g toasted macadamia nuts, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 250 g picked Warrigal green tips
- handful samphire tips or karkalla
- 200 ml extra virgin olive oil
- lemon juice, to taste
- 1 small Tasmanian wasabi root, lightly scraped, finely grated
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Place the nuts, garlic, greens and half the olive oil in a small food processor and blitz until a coarse paste forms. Add the lemon juice, grated wasabi root and salt to taste, then stir in enough of the remaining olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.
- Spoon the pesto into a jar or airtight container and pour over a little more olive oil to prevent the pesto from oxidising. The pesto will keep refrigerated for a couple of weeks.
