for you.

Old Bay - I have copied your recipe for the sun dried pesto - as I love the stuff.
Thought this would be another way to use it. I have taken lots of classes
from Peter and he is a very good chef.

Sounds good, but what is "Peter's Italian Blend," and what would be an appropriate substitute for the commercial product? Just a typical mix of oregano, basil, thyme, etc.?
This same idea would probably be very interesting with macadamia nuts, too (with different spice, of course).

Lab's
Any Italian Blend seasoning mix would do. as with the seasoning salt also.

Hope you enjoy it.
