Preparation Steps

  1. Step 1/3

    Quickly blanch the edamame and peas. Then drain and place all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and add a generous pinch of salt; pulse for 10 seconds until evenly combined. If you prefer a smooth pesto, continue blitzing until smooth (if you’re using a blender, you may need a splash more olive oil). Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2/3

    If you’re not using the pesto straightaway, transfer to a clean jar and cover with a little extra olive oil, then seal and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  3. Step 3/3

    If you want to serve on toast with tofu like we have, simply cut 1 block firm tofu lengthways into slices. Put some oil into a large frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add your tofu and fry for 3 minutes until golden, then flip and do the same on the other side.
