ROASTED GARLIC AND PARMESAN SPREAD
This is an awesome and simple bread spread to use in place of butter or garlic butter. Use light mayonnaise if you want fewer calories. The prep time is almost nothing if you have roasted garlic in the fridge from a previous meal. Spread thinly on bread before toasting in the oven or serve in a bowl for guests to apply to their own bread.

WALNUT AND PARSLEY PESTO
I hope this walnut and parsley version serves as a reminder that 'pesto' is not a recipe, but a technique. The buttery walnuts temper the fire of the mashed garlic and pair beautifully with the aromatic, bittersweet parsley. Use on toasted bread, pizza or pasta, or on roasted chicken--it's that versatile!

Steps:
- Place garlic and salt in a mortar; smash and mash with the pestle until it becomes a paste, 5 to 8 minutes. Add walnuts; mash walnuts into a paste until you reach your desired texture (coarse or smoother), another 5 to 8 minutes. Add parsley and mash to break up and blend with the walnut/garlic mixture, about 4 minutes. Add lemon juice and olive oil; stir, mash, and emulsify liquids into the mixture until it becomes very thick and well blended, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If mixture seems too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of water, or as needed.
- Spread on bread, use on pizza or pasta, or on roasted chicken. The taste is just like garlic butter, so use it as such.

Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together garlic paste, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and oil and stir in Parmesan and celery. Salad may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Trim endives and separate leaves. Endive leaves may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, wrapped in dampened paper towels, in a plastic bag.
- Stir walnuts and parsley into salad. Dip wide end of each endive leaf into salad, scooping about 1 tablespoon of salad onto it.
Tips:
- To make the smoothest spread, finely grind the walnuts in a food processor.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the walnuts by hand.
- Using a microplane or fine grater will yield the finest Parmesan cheese, which will blend most smoothly into the spread.
- If you want a milder garlic flavor, use less garlic or omit it altogether.
- You can adjust the consistency of the spread by adding more or less olive oil.
- To make the spread ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
This walnut and Parmesan spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a topping for pasta or pizza.
