Chef's Notes

  • Be careful to not over blend this recipe, or it will become a nut butter.What better way to accentuate a dish than by adding this homemade rich and flavorful seasoning blend. The hazelnuts and sesame seeds not only add a rich, creamy, and crunchy bite, but they are also full of healthy fats, fiber, and plant protein that amp up the nutrition of whatever you add it to.
