Savoury frangipane - basil
Great recipe, can be tweaked to most flavours use as you would a dessert frangipane for tarts and the like.

Finely chop the cold blanched basil.
Cream the butter with the multidextrin in the kitchen aid, beat in the ground nuts, add the eggs one at a time and mix in well, fold in the flour and parmesan.
Finally mix in the basil and season to taste.
