Pine Nut Macadamia Pesto

With Summer in full swing and basil in full bloom, we thought it only right to make Pesto.
And not just any old Pesto, the creamiest, fattiest Pesto you’ve ever tried.
We were aiming for the consistency and fattiness you get from a Pili nut, but at a quarter of the cost, so we decided to go half and half with the classic pine nut, but also the fattiness and richness of Macadamia nuts.
Again, with a lot of our recipes, especially ones with such few ingredients, it is important to get the freshest and best products you can afford on your budget, but the basil here will always be the star of the show!
It goes great on chicken, pork or fish, and also makes a great dip too!
