Toast Topping - Pseudo Pesto Mixture

This is my first pesto something, was not sure what to expect.
 
I do not know what I made. It tastes good but is more of a spread than a sauce.
 
I was overwhelmed by the volume of spices the recipe called for. I did not realize I did not have enough of any of them, so I tried to downsize the recipe.
 
Also, is it really a Toast Topping?
