Recipe's preparation

    Pesto
  1. 1.  Put cashews, garlic and salt into TM bowl. Chop for 5 sec / sp 8

     

    2.  Add olive oil, basil, kale and lemon juice to the TM bowl (at this stage it will look very full), using the spatula to assist chop 15 sec / sp 6

     

    3.  Scrape down sides, test for seasoning, adjust lemon and salt to taste then mix for a further 5 sec / sp 6

Tip

Cashews could be substituted for pine nuts or any other nut to hand.  I used cashew because of its creamy texture, especially when they have been soaked.
