     Try using small amounts of lemon juice to keep from browning :) excellent idea! love this recipe - 3/2/11

     I haven't made this recipe per se though it's very similar to my own. Sometimes I use sunflower seeds as an alternative to the pinoli, which I think are over-rated (though certainly authentic). Sometimes I add a bit of rocket to the basil. It's quite okay to reduce the amount of oil & use some water - 11/10/09
