Pistachio Pesto
I (George) am proud to say I am not a big fan of Pesto. Dont ask me why, I think its the hard processed cheese they must use… its ok. I wouldnt vomit if I ate it, but I dont go looking for it. Ask me about home made Pesto however and you are looking at a dish that can be rustled up in no time (perfect for those evening where you dont have the time to faff about with dinner!!). This recipe is totally vegan.
