BIRDSEED, CRUSHES, AND

ROCKY ROAD GARNISHES

Garnishes add texture and flavor to both savory and sweet slab pies.
You’ll need about ½ cup to scatter over a pie or sprinkle in a 2-inch
swath around the edges, and about 1 cup to cover a pie more

thoroughly. See How to Toast Nuts, here, to toast the seeds.

BIRDSEED

Makes a little more than ½ cup

¼ cup (35 g) toasted sesame seeds

2 tablespoons toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon flaky salt, such as Maldon or fleur de sel

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

In a small bowl, stir together the seeds, salt, pepper, and zest. Store
in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator for one month.
