Ridiculously Good Coriander Sauce

I make a lot of recipes and I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. But rarely do I text every group message I’m in to announce that I’ve just invented the best sauce ever.

I recently started growing my own herbs, which has totally lit up my life it’s so much fun (I’m secretly a grandma).

Normally when I have lots of herbs I make pestos, in fact I live off them, but I prefer to use parsley and basil in those. But this time I wanted to make some kind of pesto with coriander.

Coriander lends itself well to various Asian and Indian cuisines, so I knew that my normal Mediterranean inspired pestos weren’t going to do this home grown herb justice.

And thus I present to you this ridiculously good coriander sauce, using the elements of pesto but the umami and sweetness of classic Asian flavours.

Add it to any vegetable or meat dish and prepare to be amazed.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced or crushed
  • 1 (3cm) piece of ginger, microplaned OR finely chopped
  • 1 bunch coriander, stems and leaves
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp macadamia butter 
  • 1 tbsp (30ml) tamari
  • ¼ cup avocado oil OR hemp seed oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
METHOD
  1. Place all ingredients in a blender or small food processor and pulse a few times to combine. You don’t want it to be completely homogenous, you still want some flecks of coriander leaves. This is why you want the garlic and ginger to be mostly broken down before it goes in the blender.
 
Notes
  • This recipe works with any nut butter.
