Observations:

How long can I keep this pesto?
You can keep this pesto for a week in the fridge in an airtight container or covered with cling film.

Can I replace the peanuts?
You can replace the peanuts with toasted almonds, ground almonds, hazelnuts (grilled or not), walnuts, pine nuts.

My roasted peanuts are salty, what should I do?
Adjust seasoning if needed. Do not add salt and taste to see if you need to add any.

Can I replace parsley?
If you don't like parsley you can make traditional green pesto with basil or a pesto called pesto alla Calabrese with roasted peppers and ricotta cheese.

Can I replace parmesan?
If you don't have parmesan in your fridge and you are a Grana Padano or Pecorino lover, don't hesitate to replace the parmesan with these cheeses, they will give a different taste to your pesto but will be fine !
