I have yet to make this pesto yet I am one for creating my own pesto recipes from many ingredients. This recipe is amazing and I am off to the market tomorrow for the ingredients. Can’t wait to taste this pesto. I love the much unused ingredient sumac. Will review when I have made this recipe yet I am sure it will be scrumptious.
