Pecan nut and herb sauce is a preparation that combines fresh flavors and soft textures, highly appreciated in various regions of Latin America. Its origin dates back to the fusion of typical Mediterranean cuisine ingredients and native American nuts, particularly the pecan nut, considered a culinary treasure in countries like Mexico and the United States. In other Latin American countries, this sauce may have varied names or be adapted with local ingredients, but its essence remains the homogeneous mixture of nuts, herbs, and cheeses.
In some parts of Mexico, it is simply known as "pecan pesto," while in countries like Argentina or Chile, the pecan is often replaced with common walnuts, slightly changing its name and final flavor. This sauce is perfect for accompanying pasta, salads, meats, or even as a spread on bread, standing out for its versatility and richness in nutrients.
