You can make your pesto with very little ingredients but I wanted to add a few extra’s in because they offer such a beautiful depth of flavour. I usually make my pesto with your basic spinach, basil, lemon, oil and seasonings. However, to this recipe you’re also going to be adding fresh ginger and chives. These two additions take your homemade pesto up a notch and trust me, spread this on many things you make and you will have an epic tasting dish.
