Pesto Bread

Again, left over cooked cereal makes great bread. Combined with left over homemade pesto it makes great savory bread. I used the exact same idea from the last bread post. The only addition was I spread a layer of homemade pesto onto the dough before I rolled it up and let it rise a second time. Now each slice has a bit of pesto. Not too much. Just enough.

Good Friends Share Their Veggies

Our friends, K & R, live across the street. They have a fabulous vegetable garden and we are the lucky recipients of much of the results. We've been lucky enough to receive lettuces, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, cilantro, basil, and peppers.Look at all of this purple basil! I made a large batch of pesto using both of these basils, garlic, almonds, olive oil, pecorino romano, and a bit of freshly squeezed lemon. No, not the traditional Genovese pesto. I never make it that way. It's good, I like it, but I prefer mixing it up. I use what I have. It's all pesto (paste). And it's all good.
