sicilian nut pesto
You can use this pretty much anywhere you’d normally use pesto.
Stirred through pasta, on top of soup, as a sandwich spread, eating
it straight from the jar – so many options.
Feel free to use different nuts, or even a combination. Almonds and
hazelnuts are good as are a few pinenuts, Will keep in the fridge for
a week or so.
