Cashew Relish
Ingredients
¾ cup coconut cream
2 tablespoons grated palm sugar
4 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 red chilli, thinly sliced
the zest of 1 lime or lemon
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 cup Alison’s Pantry Roasted Unsalted Cashew Nuts, chopped
1 handful coriander sprigs
Methods
- Put the coconut cream, sugar, lime or lemon juice, fish sauce, chilli, zest into a bowl and mix well so the sugar dissolves.
- Taste and season with salt if necessary.
- Just before serving add the spring onions, cashews and coriander. Don’t do this until the relish is needed so that these last three things stay crunchy.
