Dairy-free pesto made with sun-dried tomatoes and brazil nuts from The Free From Fairy

I’m delighted to bring you this recipe for vegan pesto. It is so quick and simple to make yet I use it in all manner of ways.

OK, you might think pesto is a bit ‘yesterday’ but believe me, with a jar of this in your fridge you’ll have a quick meal just around the corner.

How can you use vegan pesto?

Depending on your diet you can use this vegan pesto in a huge variety of ways:

  • On it’s own with pasta
  • Mixed through roast vegetables and pasta
  • Stirred through roast vegetables and quinoa with a few tinned beans for a wholesome salad at lunchtime
  • Swirled through scrambled eggs (not vegan)
  • Spread on top of an omelette and then topped with cheese (dairy free or otherwise) for a quick ‘pizza’ (not vegan!)
  • Spread on top of a pizza base instead of a tomato sauce
  • Heated and stirred through a tin of tomatoes as the base for a pasta sauce/bolognese/pizza sauce etc
  • Spread on top of a fish fillet, sprinkled with bread crumbs and baked (not vegan!)
  • As the base of chicken nuggets…roll chicken pieces in pesto then bread crumbs and bake (not vegan!)
  • Thinned with olive oil and used as a salad dressing

The list goes on.

    Oh wow, your pesto looks amazing, and I love the fact it’s full of nuts (yummy!). I would love it on a thin pizza, with asparagus, parma ham and lots of rocket salad! Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.
