 Stir
a spoonful into plain rice, risotto or pasta just before
you serve it. Can’t get much simpler
than this one – but it’s good! |
|
Spread
a spoonful onto fish or a chicken fillet and then bake
in the oven. The fish will take ten
to fifteen minutes and the chicken about twenty-five to
thirty minutes. |
|
| Mix
a spoonful with crème fraiche for a delicious summer
sauce. Great with cold fish or chicken. |
|
For
a light snack or nibble with drinks, spread the pesto
on a slice of lightly toasted baguette
or ciabatta. |
|
For a taste that belies the simplicity of its preparation,
insert a tablespoon of pesto between
the skin and the meat of a chicken breast. Then roast
gently until thoroughly cooked. |
|
Remove stalk and then place a large flat mushroom, upside
down, on a lightly greased
roasting tin. Spread the surface of the mushroom with
pesto, top with an olive and bake for just ten
minutes to get a wonderful first course. Alternatively,
have as a light supper with fresh bread and salad. |
|
Ever tried stirring pesto into mashed potato? And what
about chunky homebaked chips dipped in
pesto? Sometimes the simplest things are the best! |
|
| Prior
to serving, try tossing lightly cooked courgettes or green
beans in pesto. Looks and tastes great. |
|
| Always remember to cook chicken
thoroughly! |
