A handy fave is this delicious coriander and tamari pesto recipe. Are you like me and known to buy a huge bag of coriander, only to eat half? This is the perfect way to use the remainder. Not only is it delightful over an array of chargrilled greens, but it’s also delicious on crackers, folded through pasta or in a wrap.
