Sandwich with homemade green pesto

✔️Lactose-free

A simple, homemade green pesto sandwich that taste like something straight out of a cozy Italian café.

Ingredients for the green pesto

• 5 sprigs of fresh basil

• 50 g cashew nuts

• 30 g Parmesan cheese - naturally lactose-free

• 100 ml olive oil

Ingredients for the filling

• 1 Italian roll - or any bread of your choice

• 100 g cherry tomatoes

• A splash of olive oil

• 0,5 tsp garlic powder

• Vegan cream cheese - like Philadelphia and amount to taste

• Italian herbs - amount to taste

• Extra black pepper - amount to taste

1. Remove the basil leaves from the stems and place them in a tall mixing cup.

2. Add the cashew nuts and Parmesan cheese. Slowly pour in the olive oil while blending until you reach the texture you like.

3. Taste the pesto and adjust with extra basil or Parmesan if needed.

4. Slice the Italian roll in half and toast it in a pan or oven.

5. Meanwhile, place the cherry tomatoes in an oven dish with olive oil and seasoning.

6. Roast for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 200° C, until they're so soft you can press them down with a spoon.

7. Now for the fun part - layering!. Spread vegan cream cheese on your toasted bread, add a generous spoonful of green pesto, roasted tomatoes, and finish with some extra herbs and black pepper.
