I made this out of items I had at home, substituting white wine vinegar for the lemon juice, almonds for the macadamia nuts, vegetable oil sesame oil for the macadamia oil, and omitting the scallions. I also added a bit of soy sauce for saltiness and Thai sweet chili sauce for a hint of sweet/spiciness. The results were wonderful.

I tried this last night and the pesto was wonderful! I used wild salmon and the colour contrast was great. I didn't have macadamia oil so I used Avocado Oil. Thanks for sharing this!

It's a preparation of rice called "sekihan" which uses glutinous rice and azuki beans.
