The Story
Deep flavored mackerel seared until the skin sings is lifted by a raw walnut and pumpkin seed pesto kissed with turmeric and black pepper. The result is grounding and clarifying.
Moderate heat protects delicate omega 3 oils while a cold prepared pesto preserves antioxidants. Turmeric combined with pepper and a creamy fat provides sustained clarity support.
