Instructions for Green Olive Pesto - Pasta Sauce Recipe

To begin making the Green Olive Pesto, we will blend all the ingredients - green olives, walnuts, garlic, coriander leaves, olive oil, cheese , peppercorns in a food processor.

Add the green olives, walnuts, garlic cloves, olive oil, cheese and coriander leaves into the food processor. Do a quick blend to make a semi smooth pesto sauce.

Don't add the salt as yet, because the cheese and the olives have salt in them. Check the salt and probably might not add more.

Stir in the crushed black peppercorns and store the Green Olive Pesto Sauce in a glass jar. Use it in a pasta or an open toast for a quick weeknight dinner.
