""A unique, spreadable basil pesto that's thickened with extra walnuts and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. Instead of putting this on pasta--which can dilute the intense flavors---try this on hot, crusty bread, alongside hummus and olives on an appetizer tray. It's an absolute must on fresh tomato pizza or slathered on roasted squash." Veganomicon..."
