Instructions
Step 1
Add garlic, ginger, Thai green chilies, chopped peanuts, palm sugar, and Thai basil to a food processor. Pulse a few times to break ingredients into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Add fish sauce, lime juice, parmesan cheese, and salt & pepper. Purée while drizzling in the sesame oil and extra virgin olive oil. Keep pureeing until smooth. Add a splash of water if necessary if the pesto is too thick. Turn off the food processor and scrape down the sides as needed. Taste as you go and adjust ingredients as desired.
