Pesto From the Sea

This vibrant seaweed-based sauce, known as Pesto from the Sea, offers a unique and savoury twist on the classic Italian condiment. By incorporating fresh kombu or wakame, this vegan recipe delivers a wonderful depth of umami flavour that perfectly complements the peppery bite of fresh rocket and aromatic basil. It is a brilliant way to introduce nutrient-dense sea vegetables into your diet while keeping the familiar, comforting textures of a traditional homemade pesto.

Naturally plant-based and gluten-free, this versatile green sauce is an excellent addition to your weekly meal prep. Serve it stirred through a bowl of hot linguine, drizzled over roasted seasonal vegetables, or spread generously onto toasted sourdough. The addition of roasted pine nuts provides a rich, buttery finish, making it a sophisticated yet healthy alternative to shop-bought varieties.

Thoroughly rinse the kombu with water, making sure all pickling salt has been washed off. Dab dry and cut into pieces.

Puree the kombu, nuts, garlic, basil, rocket, olive oil, and lemon juice in a food processor until the mixture forms a smooth paste.

Put the pesto in a glass jar, cover with a layer of olive oil, and store in the fridge for up to two weeks. Always serve with a clean spoon to maintain freshness.
