Parsley, Currant and Brazil Nut Pesto

Just a variation on a popular theme.

All ingredients are estimates. You really need to test the mixture as you go to get your desired taste, as the flavour of the ingredients will change as per the season.

Serve with vegetables, over pasta, or as a dip.

Parsley, Currant and Brazil Nut Pesto

Ingredients:

a bunch of fresh parsley (I use curly-leaf, but flat-leaf is also fine)
1/2 cup of currants
1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
dash of olive oil
1-2 cloves of garlic
a good handful of Brazil nuts
rock salt (to taste)
juice of half a lemon

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Check at regular intervals to make sure you have the desired taste and consistence. Stop when you're happy!
