Ingredients
1/3 cup raw macadamia nuts
2 cloves garlic
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely grated Dubliner cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
Add the raw macadamia nuts to a food processor or blender and pulse several times until they are broken down into small, fine pieces with a coarse texture.
Add the garlic cloves and fresh basil leaves to the processor and pulse until all ingredients are evenly combined and the basil is finely chopped throughout the mixture.
Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, then blend on medium speed until the pesto reaches a smooth, creamy consistency with no large chunks remaining.
Transfer the pesto to a bowl and stir in the grated Dubliner cheese. Taste the mixture and add salt and black pepper as needed until the flavors are balanced to your preference. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
