I made a vegan version of this by replacing the cheese with 1/4C Nutritional Yeast and it came out perfect. The jalapeno added a nice kick.
I made it as the recipe stated and it tasted delicious. It was just spicy enough to taste great!
Yes did not alter anything tasted great also tried it as a base on pizza also great it is a keeper I used 3 jalapeno's for the pizza.
We adore this pesto. Used fresh ingredients from my garden. This pesto is a five star recipe. Just a tad of heat on the back of your tongue. Not too spicy so you could add more jalapenos if you like. I did add the zest of one lemon. So glad I stumbled upon this recipe. Can't imagine why I didn't think of tossing a jalapeno into pesto before because if it grows together it goes together. Really great on white pizza.
This was good. I had leftover jalapeños from another recipe and was looking for something to use them up. I'll admit I was sceptical about using walnuts for pesto (as I've always done it with pine nuts) but the flavors worked fabulously together. I did double use 2 jalapeños because that's what I had but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Will make again keeping with 2 peppers.
Fabulous! Thought maybe the jalapeño might be too spicy or take over but it was actually perfect. This was my first time making pesto without pinenuts. I will do it again. Great recipe Curiouschef. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent pesto. I added the juice of two lemons, doubled the jalapeños and served it over spaghetti squash.
Really good pesto as is! I added a couple of extra garlic cloves and a couple extra jalapeno's just because of my love for both! I did add a splash of lemon. Put it in an ice cube tray to freeze, so now I will have 14 cubes whenever I need one or two.... especially since no one else in my house likes pesto. lol Thanks for a great recipe!
Since this was my experience with making pesto I wasn't sure of exactly what. Was looking for in taste so I made 3 batches; Proper Pesto Spinach/ Basil Pesto and Jalapeño Pesto. The Jalapeño Pesto won the taste test hands down. The others were good but this one was the best. Served it with spaghetti squash. Wonderful....
