Horseradish-Pumpkin Seed Pesto

This vibrant horseradish and pumpkin seed pesto offers a sharp, contemporary twist on a classic Italian condiment. By swapping traditional pine nuts for toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) and basil for fresh coriander, this recipe creates a bold, earthy base that perfectly carries the heat of the horseradish. It is an excellent way to add a punchy, savoury depth to plant-based meals without relying on dairy.

As a versatile vegan staple, this pesto works beautifully stirred through hot linguine, drizzled over roasted root vegetables, or used as a zesty spread for crusty sourdough. The bright lime juice keeps the flavours lifted, making it a healthy yet indulgent addition to your weekly meal prep. It can be prepared in minutes and keeps well in the fridge for a quick flavour boost whenever needed.
