It's best to make it in food processor or blender. This raw pesto is tangy, delicious and tasty. I served it with grilled salmon fillets and boiled new potatoes, but it will be great on absolutely anything!
For 2 generous servings:
Half a bunch of coriander
Half a bunch of parsley
1 ripe lime
3-4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp cold pressed mixed seed oil
Wash the herbs and remove the long stalks. Put herbs, juice and zest of lime and oils in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

Spanish sugar and gluten free tomato sause
Nuts is quite unusual ingredient, but this is what makes this sauce so nice and a bit crunchy and it's sugar and gluten free! I served it mounted on top of grilled trout fillets on the bed of red quinoa.
Serves 2 generous or 4 small portions:
1 heaped tsp each, unsalted: almonds, pine nuts and hazelnuts - chopped or crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 inch/2.5 cm fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
1 celery stick, shopped
400g can of chopped tomatoes (pick one with just tomatoes in its juices)
4 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
1 tbsp tarragon, dried or fresh
Salt and ground black pepper
That's it!
