Perfect Pesto Indeed



I wanted to make some pesto, and I did. Did I have the parsley called for in the recipe? No, so I substituted steamed kale. I finally have fake Parmesan cheese too!


PERFECT PESTO
p. 80 HIAV
Prepared 12/10/06

Served upon pasta, steamed sweet potato, green beans, kale and cannellini beans. Quiiiiiiiiiiiiite yummy, though I will admit a bias-- I am a complete lover of all things pesto! Adding miso was a completely awesome idea (one which I would have never come up with on my own) and gave the pesto some extra body. It was hella garlicky so my advice is if you are a garlicphobe than one or two cloves will do. Plus, as noted above, its a great way to sneak some extra leafy dark greens into your meal! The kid ate with gusto!
