It’s rare to find a child who doesn’t like pesto, which is why it’s a firm favourite to feature on our menus. But it doesn’t always have to be put on pasta – it can bring to life a sarnie too!

Ingredients:

 

200g  wholemeal bread

200g  red peppers, deseeded and roasted

50g white onion, diced

50g fresh tomato, diced

Garlic to taste

120g cream cheese

Juice of a lemon

 

Pesto ingredients:

 

25g   of fresh basil

A handful  of fresh spinach

30g sunflower seeds

1 tsp  garlic purée

Juice and zest of a lemon

50ml olive oil



Directions:

 

Blend the pesto ingredients together.

In a pan, sauté onions and tomatoes in a little garlic for 5-10 minutes. Towards the end of cooking, add the chopped roasted peppers and a splash of lemon juice.

Lightly toast some bread, then spread cream cheese on top. Add a layer of pesto and the pepper mixture on top of the cream cheese.
