A bright, aromatic dish with dill and capers that carries the very essence of Mediterranean flavours. Capers are one of Sicily’s treasures, especially those from the island of Pantelleria, where they develop an intense, briny flavour thanks to the sun and sea. My mum had a special recipe for caper pesto, which she made just for me, knowing how much I loved bold flavours. But she hated dill! She was forced to eat it as a child and it left a lasting trauma, but even so, she made this pesto.</
