Tis, this is superb!!!! It has such a depth of flavour and makes you come back for more and more and more. :) It is easy and quick to make and tastes so good, way better than store bought! I, too left this pesto quite chunky and also didnt add all the liquid as I wanted more of a spreadable consistency. Apart from leaving out the sugar and salt I stuck to your recipe and it was perfect! I will surely make this again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing another winner with us!

*Reviewed for Edition 8 Make My Recipe Tag Game in the Aussie Forum* Great recipe! Easy to make and such wonderful flavour. I left my pesto a bit chunky and it was totally delish on crackers and pasta. I made a double batch and have some for later in the fridge. Photo to be posted. Thanks Tisme for another wonderful recipe :)
