My family loves pesto... so sad over the winter when we have no basil growing in the garden. When I saw this recipe on one of Giada's foodtv shows, I knew I had to try it.Recipe
In a food processor, pulse:
one 10-ounce package of frozen peas, defrosted
one garlic clove (I roasted my garlic first)
1/2 cup grated parmesan (I used a bit more)
one teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil (or as much needed for correct consistency
Crostini: Brush 1/2 inch slices of ciabatta bread or baguette with olive oil and grill till toasty.
Spread desired amount of pesto on the crostini and top with tomato slices.
This pesto is sweet and the texture reminds me more of hummus than basil pesto.
So simple to prepare, a beautiful presentation and fabulously delicious.
Thank you for another winner, Giada!
