Smoky Basil Coriander Pesto is a simple yet flavorful pesto that's fun to make. When I'm in need of a sauce or pesto, I love to blend together a few wholesome ingredients and adjust the salt and pepper to enhance the delicious factor.
The Power of Basil and Coriander
Basil, an aromatic and flavorful green herb, originates from Africa and Asia and has been used for centuries in medicinal, culinary, and tea preparations. This potent herb offers numerous health benefits, including relieving nausea and insect bites. In traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, basil is prized for its ability to heal, prevent ailments, and help the body adapt to environmental stressors without triggering inflammation.
Coriander, another fragrant herb, is closely related to celery, carrots, and parsley and is commonly used as a garnish in various dishes. It has been recognized for its ability to:
Lower blood sugar levels
Improve heart health
Protect brain function
Enhance gut health
Combat infections
Additionally, coriander is rich in antioxidants, making it a powerhouse ingredient for our system.
A Unique Take on Pesto
This pesto is far from traditional—it contains no olive oil, nuts, or cheese. Instead, it incorporates natural substitutes to create a smoky, delicious twist. A little of this and that, and voilà—a smoky pesto that is bold and satisfying.

With holy basil and coriander, I start to grind,
Releasing their fragrances, oh so divine.
Add cumin seeds to enhance the flavor, And a dollop of coconut butter for a touch of savor. Sprinkle in turmeric, yellow like the sun, And salt and pepper to make it all come together as one.
To make it creamy, scoop in some avocado, And then some smoky paprika for a little bravado. As I mix and grind, the aroma fills the air, A delicious pesto that's beyond compare.
Now it's time to enjoy this flavorful spread, On toast, with pasta, or by the spoonful instead. With every bite, I taste the love and care, That went into making this pesto so rare.
Enjoy!
