A herb pesto of green shiso, sesame oil and nuts that goes well with pasta and onigiri alike. It pairs the fresh, slightly peppery taste of shiso with the depth of sesame oil and the texture of nuts.
Ingredients
- 30 g fresh shiso leaves
- 30 g roasted cashews
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 small garlic clove
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) sesame oil
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Wash the shiso leaves well and pat them dry.
- Put the shiso leaves, cashews, sesame seeds and garlic in a food processor or blender.
- Blend to a coarse paste.
- With the machine running, pour in the sesame oil in a slow stream until the pesto has the consistency you want.
- Season with salt and add a little lime juice for freshness if you like.
- Serve the pesto right away or keep it in an airtight container in the fridge.
