“Traditional pesto is very high fat, unlike this low-fat version. This pesto has a wide variety of uses. Try it tossed with penne pasta, strips of grilled chicken, chopped fresh basil, and golden raisins, topped with chopped tomatoes and a touch of Parmesan and black pepper. It’s also excellent on hot or cold sandwiches.”

i usually eat this as a “soup”, but you can also put it over rice, or just use the cooked sweet potatoes as a side dish (saving the coconut milk/curry combo to cook rice in, or cook another curry).

The oil can be left out of this recipe to make it low in fat. It has plenty of protein on a whole grain bread, so it completes sandwiches well with simply sliced vegetables.
