Pesto (df + damn delish)
Celebrate basil season while impressing your taste buds and your friends with the best damn pesto you’ve ever had – all while being vegan and dairy-free, but trust me, you won’t even notice!
And the secret ingredient that takes this pesto to the next level? Miso paste – the umami-rich seasoning that replaces the traditional Parmesan cheese and gives this dish a depth of flavor that will leave you craving more.
For those who may be unfamiliar, umami is the fifth basic taste – alongside sweet, sour, bitter, and salty – and is often described as a savory or meaty flavor that adds depth and complexity to dishes.
