Parsley Pesto Recipe With Coriander, Curry Leaves And Almonds
A parsley pesto recipe is a fantastic alternative to basil pesto, especially when basil is off-season. Our family played with different ingredients. Now we share the ones that found positive feedback.
We designed this particular pesto mix for carrot pancakes. It is also a fantastic addition to prepare a carrot a salad dressing, as well as a healthy spread on a piece of homemade bread.
In this ingredient combination, we kept it lactose-free, used soaked almonds, and paired parsley with the peppery taste of curry leaves and fresh coriander.
