Similar to the use of a classic basil pesto, this variation can be used as a lovely dip or it can accompany chicken, beef or fish dishes. We personally like it as a flavour bomb in soups and we also use it to personalise rice or pasta dishes. 

How to best keep coriander pesto?

Fresh pesto can be kept up to 7 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Keep it away from light as it might oxidize which doesn’t change the flavour but the bright green colour will turn darker. You can also freeze it and store up to 6 months.
