Serrano Pepper Basil Pesto

6/28/2023

0 Comments

 
Serrano pepper takes the world's freshest sauce from simple to spicy with one ingredient. 
 
INGREDIENTS 
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 Serrano pepper
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups basil, packed tight
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Olive oil.  Start with 1/2 cup, add more as needed to make a loose sauce
  • Salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
  1. Drop the garlic clove into a food processor while it is running, and run the machine until the garlic is finely minced.
  2. Trim the stem off the hot pepper and slice it in chunks. Add it to the machine, seeds and all if you want it really spicy, while it is running, and wait until it is finely minced.
  3. Next add the pine nuts and Parmesan cheese and process until everything is smooth.
  4. Add the basil and lemon juice and pulse, scraping down the sides of the machine a few times, until the basil has broken down.
  5. Drizzle in the olive oil while processing. Process until the pesto is as smooth as you like. It can be chunky or smooth, it’s your choice.
  6. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Add more olive oil if you want a looser pesto.
  7. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container, and use within 10 days.

0 Comments

 
Ingredients
  • 1 large cucumber, sliced (and chopped if you prefer)
  • 8 white mushrooms, sliced (or equivalent mushroom of your choice)
  • 6 oz. plain yogurt 
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced & chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes cut into quarters 
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
 
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and toss.
  2. Serve immediately for nice, crisp mushrooms.
  3. Alternatively, refrigerate and allow the mushrooms to marinate. They will get soft, and develop a rich "cheesy" flavor. Suggest you have one serving right away, and then another later, so you can enjoy both ways.
