Remember the fresh oregano<\/a> I got from our friend?<\/p>\n

After making the bread, I still had a lot left, and I was feeling a bit of pressure.<\/p>\n

My friend suggested drying it, but I really wanted to use it as fresh because how often do you get to enjoy this much fresh oregano?!<\/p>\n

\"70\"<\/p>\n

So I was thinking what I would do with other types of herb if I have a lot of it, and I came up with the idea of oregano pesto!<\/p>\n

I wasn’t too sure of how it would turn out.<\/p>\n

\"72\"<\/p>\n

Well, it turned out awesome!!<\/p>\n

I wanted to keep it vegan, so there is no cheese in this pesto: fresh oregano, garlic, cashew nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n

I accidentally \u00a0(I wasn’t paying attention as usual) added a little more nuts than I was initially planning, and it kept my pesto from showing the bright green color.<\/p>\n

But it tastes absolutely delicious!<\/p>\n

I think the extra nuts probably contributed to the well balanced flavors after all (Or I’m just trying to justify my error?! (lol)).<\/p>\n

\"75\"<\/p>\n

It was served with fusilli (Terry is converting me to short pasta!) and grape tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"76\"<\/p>\n

Of course, garnish the whole dish with beautiful fresh oregano that I kept just for this shot!<\/p>\n

Oregano Pesto (vegan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 cups fresh oregano leaves
\n8~10 cloves garlic, cooked for a few minutes
\n1 cup or so cashew nuts, soaked in hot water
\nlemon juice, from 1~2 lemons
\nsugar
\nsalt and pepper
\nolive oil
\nwater where garlic was cooked<\/p>\n

1. Combine all the ingredients. Puree in a food processor. Add olive oil and water little by little to achieve the preferred texture and flavor.<\/p>\n

Yes, my Saturday morning starts with a trip to the farmers market.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend everyone!!<\/p>\n
