Mike's Thai Pesto Sauce

We had fun creating this original recipe, so much fun that we might start playing with mashup recipes more! This mashup is a combination of our spicy jalapeno pesto sauce and a Thai flair. The result? Jalapeno Miss says we definitely have a winner. It's just spicy enough to give a nice little kick, yet with enough Thai to satisfy the Thai food lovers.
