Homegrown basil & natives pesto

img_7655.jpg

I experimented with the traditional pesto recipe to incorporate a few more local, Aussie flavours of the macadamias and lemon myrtle. I also had a LOT of basil from my urban herb garden to get creative with!

Whazz up the following in a food processor or blender until well incorporated, not necessarily smooth:

  • a few small bunches of basil
  • 1/2 cup lemon myrtle olive oil
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1 Tbs garlic
  • lemon juice from 1 lemon

Delicious added to zucchini noodles, salad or avo toast- or just for dunking crackers in!
