Directions
Tomato Lime Pesto, I think I’ve got to dedicate a whole online cookbook to Moosewood Restaurant–such fabulous treats! This sauce goes great with Recipe #241527 for a great appetizer or snacky-snack , I discovered this while searching for a more unique pesto recipe used a serrano pepper, and had to only use half of it to avoid burning out our guests who don’t have my affinity for spicy food I otherwise made the recipe as listed, then modified to suit my tastes As listed, I found the recipe to be a bit simple-not bland, but it pretty much just tastes like sun-dried tomato with a kick of heat So, I added a bit more salt and 3 cloves of rough-chopped garlic I also sprinkled the serving dish with whole pine nuts The introduction of these two more traditional pesto ingredients yielded a rich, pleasurable pesto that goes great on breads and crackers and such I will try this recipe again, thanks for the idea!, I think I’ve got to dedicate a whole online cookbook to Moosewood Restaurant–such fabulous treats! This sauce goes great with Recipe #241527 for a great appetizer or snacky-snack
