Pine nut crust:
Miles better than breadcrumbs or batter, and more nutritious. Place a handful of pine nuts in a plastic bag. Add some sea salt, coriander seeds and any herbs you like. Hold the bag and beat with a rolling pin until crushed. Take chicken or fish fillets, dip in melted butter, then put into the bag and shake until covered. Place on a baking tray and bake in a moderate to hot oven until crispy. Add lemon zest to make pine nut and lemon zest crust.
Chopped salad:
Use any vegetable you fancy, like courgettes, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. Chop roughly or put into machine with 6 walnuts. It should look like coleslaw. Add a little oil.
