Having lots of pepper powder lying around, I couldn't wait to try it out. Here's recipe for what I came up with, basically just a slightly modified classic pesto:
Ingredients:
2 cups firmly packed basil
1/4 cup freshly toasted pine nuts
Cashews(add as much as you want or omit, all about preference)
1/3 cup packed freshly grated asiago cheese(typically parmesan, couldn't find it)
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
Heaping pinch of each of the following powders:
Jalapeno, Tabasco, Red Hot Chile, Pequin, Habanero & Morita(i think, it was some type of smoked mexican dried pepper)
kosher/sea salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste
Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until you reach the desired consistency.
Omg its good. Hard to go wrong with pesto.
