Ingredients
- 75 g (½ cup) raw unsalted macadamia nuts
- 250 g picked warrigal greens
- 1 bunch basil, leaves picked
- 1 bush lemon, juice and finely grated zest
- 350 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 70 g (½ cup) hemp seeds
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- chargrilled sourdough, chopped semi-dried tomato and shredded basil, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Place the macadamia nuts on a baking tray and roast for 5-10 minutes or until golden.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the warrigal greens and cook for 30 seconds, then scoop out and place immediately into a bowl of iced water. Stand for a couple of minutes to cool, then drain and squeeze out the excess water.
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz into a mostly smooth paste.
- To serve, toss a little semi-dried tomato and shredded basil in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and season to taste. Spread a good dollop of pesto on the chargrilled bread and top with the tomato mixture.
