As the October nights draw us into
winter, why not liven up your dishes
by getting tasty with the paste-y!
Country Range’s green and red
pesto sauces are a delicious blend
of either red pepper or basil, pine
nuts, garlic, olive oil and cheese.
These tangy tongue tinglers are
delicious with fish, neat with meat
and super in soup.
They are also versatile enough to
make a variety of vegetarian starters
and mains.
So without further ado... here are
five tasty ideas for you.
1. Green pesto rib-eye steak
In a bowl, mix up half a cup of green
pesto with six tablespoons of grated
parmesan cheese, two ounces of
softened cream cheese and two
tablespoons of minced green onion.
Cut into each side of a beef rib-eye
steak to form a deep pocket and
stuff with the mixture.
Press closed, drizzle oil over the
beef and season before grilling
for 15 minutes on each side.
2. Red pesto-topped cod
Spread your cod with a big dollop
of our red pepper pesto, then add
some more into a bowl with bread
crumbs, lime zest and herbs of
your choice.
Spoon the bread crumb mix over the
cod and press down lightly to make
a delicious crust on top. Bake in the
oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until the
fish is just cooked.
3. Tasty pesto baguette
Cut into 12 slices spreading each
side of bread with pesto, then top
with cheese spread, fresh cherry
tomatoes and bake for around eight
minutes on a medium heat before
serving on a bed of rocket.
4. Butterflied pesto chicken breast
Add Italian herbs and olive oil to
your pesto before spreading over
the chicken. Grill for 20 minutes, then
top with black olives and serve with
salad, potato wedges and coleslaw.
5. Pesto tagliatelle
In a bowl, add your pesto, a dash
of extra virgin olive oil, a chopped
onion and the paste of one garlic
clove along with some mascarpone
cheese and peas. Add your cooked
tagliatelle to the mixture and serve
with garlic bread for a delicious and
simple vegetarian dish. |
