                    • 1 garlic clove


                    • 5 sprigs of cilantro


                    • 5 sprigs of parsley


                    • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves


                    • 1 cup fresh basil


                    • 1 teaspoon moringa powder


                    • A few oregano and rosemary leaves


                    • ¼ cup walnuts


                    • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese


                    • ½ cup olive oil


                    • Juice of ¼ lemon


                    • 1 pinch of kaffir lime powder


                    • Madagascar wild black Voatsiperifery pepper, to taste


                    • Salt, to taste


​ ​ ​ ​ ​


  1. In a food processor, blend the walnuts and garlic with a little olive oil.

  2. Add the remaining ingredients, season to taste, and blend until smooth.

  3. For a creamier pesto, slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending.

Inspiration : Cuisinez

For an even more flavorful pesto, add a few lightly toasted cashews and a pinch of Madagascar wild Voatsiperifery pepper. Its woody, floral, and subtly citrusy notes will bring a refined touch to your recipe. Delicious on fresh pasta, bruschetta, or grilled fish!
