Serving suggestions:
Keep a jar of this on standby in the fridge (up to 5 days). Spread on crackers or bread, layer it on toast underneath your breakfast eggs, stir through cooked pasta or a potato salad, dollop it on homemade pizza, or add a layer in a cheese toastie. The possibilities are endless!
Top Tip:
Walnuts can be swapped out for other nuts such as cashews or pine nuts for a slightly different, but still delicious, flavour profile
