This was a zingy pesto, totally different to the types you can buy pre-made. Very simple, although I'm not sure a distinct brazil nut taste came through so I reckon you could get way with using a cheaper nut and have the same outcome. I did use the juice of a whole lemon; you need a bit of liquid…

"1 Lemon juice" - juice of one lemon seems like a lot. Should that be a tablespoon?
