    Oh my god, I'm about to eat the whole thing straight out of the thermie - it's soooo good! I didn't have cashews so used a combo of pine nuts, walnuts and macadamias, and didn't have whole chilis so added chili powder. Only needed 75g of oil too! Thanks. Yum, Yum, Yum!

    Hello, thank you for the recipe, made this today. The chilli does add a bit of heat, I didn't use apple cider vinegar but added lime zest and juice from one lime and left it thicker with only 100g oil. looking forward to using it this weekend with pork sliders

    Love how easy it's to make. Left out the chilli as we don't like eating them and got a very fresh sweet nutty pesto that is real jummy to eat. Loving it, thank you for sharing  tmrc_emoticons.)

    glad you enjoyed tmrc_emoticons.) yes, great to change things to suit what's in the pantry!

    very easy, I made a number of alterations due to lack of pantry ingredients, so I used a few pine nuts and skipped the chiili.  It tastes yummy, and the excess has gone into the freezer for 'ron.
