I hope you had a good weekend. So, I decided to make Pesto sauce only to discover practically had none of the necessary ingredients. For those who don't know, Pesto is a Chutney or sauce that is made mainly with basil leaves, pine nuts, cheese, garlic etc. I was so determined to make pesto sauce that I made my own take on it and it came up with a cilantro Pesto. It is not sure of the result made it more exciting and fun. In the end, it turned out perfect and delicious. We spread it by a cheese sandwich and he was too good. So here goes, my own version of pesto sauce that I'm going to call...

CORIANDER LEAVES: 1 CUP OR 1/2 BUNCH
WALNUT: 4-5
GARLIC: 2 CLOVES
