First I started dreaming of a walnut pesto, which I’ve had and tried various versions, but then I wanted to take it a step further and luckily I had a beautiful eggplant just sitting in my fridge just waiting to be eaten. So I decided to enlist the eggplant as my main course and essentially, plate for this pesto creation.
