Those onions look perfect! I wish there were pine nuts where we live (in Ecuador), but I haven't seen them in any of the supermarkets. Another reason why I haven't been able to make proper Pesto.

@beelzael do you know if there are any where you live?

Hm, so an alternative would be a mild nut or seed? Or just do it with sesame seeds and forget the pine nuts. I never make pesto with pine nuts as it's too expensive - I use pepitas instead!

for 60$/pound :-D yeah, I use chochos for my pesto for that reason. Cheaper. Walnuts are an option. Or almonds, roasted.
