As someone who grew up eating pesto alla trapanese, I can tell you that your version is very similar to what we use to eat here in Sicily. Perhaps less almonds and basil (at least in my family we put very little into it), since the main protagonist is the fresh tomato, along with garlic and olive oil (lots of it). But still pretty good!

Don’t know where you ate it but not in Trapani. This is wrong. Pesto alla trapanese is a close relative to pesto alla genovese. The original colour is a brownish-orange tone because it’s the Sicilian take on the Ligurian original. There is almonds instead of pine nuts, solely Pecorino instead of Parmigiano and Pecorino Fiore Sardo with the addition of fresh tomatoes. Skinned and de-cored without the water. Basil is still a main ingredient Mortar and pestle is a must.
