The Story
This pistou carries the scent of a midsummer garden bent toward the sea. Toasted walnuts and sesame unfold nutty warmth while basil and parsley bring green brightness. Little shards of kelp offer a saline echo that makes every vegetable sing.
Condiments are concentrated acts of care. A spoonful of herb and seaweed pistou elevates simple produce into a balanced meal by layering fat protein and mineral rich umami.
