Macadamia and Sundried Tomato Pesto

Over the last Christmas we spent some time in Margaret River. We tried a Macadamia Nut pesto in one of the Olive Oil factories. And I really liked the idea.

This is my version. You will need bread, that is for sure. Haven’t tried with pasta yet but might work well.

*I couldn’t control my hand with the Olive Oil, maybe too much.

Tapenade is so easy and goes so well with a good bread. Black olives, olive oil, figs. Very Mediterranean. Healthy and quick.

The figs. Just picking them up from the trees in La Vera. Hopefully, soon again.

And the olives. I don’t really understand how I can still eat them. When I was a child I ate a kilo and end up in hospital. In fact, still love them with a cold Mahou.

This tapenade goes well with cheese…what about a smoked Applewood or a mature Flor de Esgueva sheep cheese…and good bread, of course.
