Pesto Recipe Using Parsley

When we just couldn't get our hands on Basil we mixed parsley with coriander. Everyone in the family is happy about the pesto and loves to eat it as a spread or in our salad.

  • 2 jars, 190 ml with a lid

  2. Peel the garlic and add it to the mix.
  3. Pour the olive oil and water into the herb mix and blend.
